The Frankenstein Chronicles is a British television drama series that has aired on ITV Encore since 11 November 2015. A&E picked up the series for American television, describing it as "a thrilling and terrifying re-imagining of the Frankenstein Myth set in 19th century London."

Fans of Sean Bean may notice some references to his previous work: the character John Marlott was a soldier in the 2nd Battalion 95th Rifles as was Richard Sharpe and in one scene he is seen to unpack the distinctive green jacket of the Rifle regiment from his belongings. In another scene a suspect Marlott is surveilling is heard humming the tune to "Over the Hills and Far Away", which was the theme to Sharpe.

On 20 June 2016 it was announced that ITV had renewed The Frankenstein Chronicles for a second season.
