“Riverdale” and “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has another new genre series in the works with “The Shelley Society,” ordered to pilot by HBO Max.
Deadline reports that HBO Max has ordered a pilot and an additional script for the potential series, “a mash-up of gothic horror and teen romance featuring young Mary Shelley.”
“The Shelley Society is described as a Victorian X-Files.”
“Young author Mary Shelley leads a band of Romantic outlaws—among them, her lovers Percy and Lord Byron—against all manner of supernatural threats and monsters…including Frankenstein author Shelley’s own iconic Creature.”
Tessa Leigh Williams and James DeWille co-created “The Shelley Society.”
