As reported by Deadline, David Tennant also acts as an executive producer on the series.
He said: “One of my earliest jobs was playing ‘first policeman’ in a BBC radio adaptation of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
“I read the book many years ago and I’ve been fascinated with this character for as long as I can remember.
“This story has followed me around for years, tapping on my shoulder slightly impatiently.”
He added: “When Julie Anne [Robinson] approached me to talk about re-imagining it for the 21st century, alongside her, the magnificent Fazekas and Butters and with the ever-brilliant Georgia Tennant, I didn’t let her finish the sentence.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to be playing this character, telling this story and working with these people.”
Is Hide based on the Jekyll and Hyde book?
Robert Louis Stevenson wrote the book The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
The now famous tale has been adapted many times for film and TV – including a BBC adaptation starring James Nesbitt.
The original story follows the terrifying plight of Dr Jekyll, a well-respected scientist, who transforms into the evil Mr Hyde after an experiment.
The David Tennant and Georgia Tennant version Hide, is a new re-imagining of the classic.
Director and executive producer Julie Anne Robinson said of the project: “I am ecstatic to have this opportunity to work with such creative and talented individuals.
“The Jekyll and Hyde story is a classic, and it is so thrilling to be bringing a new and exciting iteration to the screen with such brilliant collaborators.”

Most recently, the married couple starred together in BBC’s Staged, which was filmed during lockdown last year.
They have also appeared alongside each other in series four of Doctor Who, with Georgia playing the Doctor’s daughter.
The couple met on the set of the sci-fi show.
TV fans will know that Georgia is the real-life daughter of Fifth Doctor Peter Davison.
