Last month, CBS ordered up a batch of pilots, one of which was “Frankenstein,“ a new take on Mary Shelley’s legendary story. The series comes from Jason Tracey, “Elementary” creator Rob Doherty, and CBS TV Studios, and Deadline reports that a director and star have been found.

Uta Briesewitz (“Westworld”) will direct the pilot, with Saidah Arrika Ekulona (“The Haunting of Hill House”) set as a series regular.

“Frankenstein” centers on a San Francisco homicide detective who’s mysteriously brought back to life after being killed in the line of duty.

“As he resumes his old life and he and his wife realize he isn’t the same person he used to be, they zero in on the strange man behind his resurrection – Dr. Victor Frankenstein.”

Ekulona plays Capt. Mills who is in charge at a crime scene and everywhere she goes, intelligent, decisive, tough but not without compassion or humor. Captain Mills is Escher’s boss with the San Francisco Police Department. Like his other friends and family, she’s stunned when he returns six months after he was presumed dead in an attack at his home.

Rob Doherty executive producers, as does writer Jason Tracey.
