The series, Jekyll and Hyde, officially joined the Netflix library for United States subscribers on February 1, 2026. This release allows a new generation of fans to experience the complete saga without interruptions. It originally premiered on the ITV network in the United Kingdom on October 25, 2015.
Jekyll and Hyde concluded its initial ten-episode run in early 2016, gaining a dedicated following for its unique visual style and creature designs. Despite positive audience reception, the show did not return for a second season, making this Netflix debut a significant event. It serves as a major addition to the supernatural library of the platform during the early months of the year.
As the show transitions to a massive digital platform, the narrative complexity of its episodes remains the primary draw.
A battle for the Soul in Jekyll and Hyde
The series follows Robert Jekyll, the grandson of the original doctor, as he attempts to uncover his true identity in 1930s London. He discovers that he has inherited a family curse that transforms him into a superhuman, chaotic alter-ego known as Hyde.
While Robert struggles to control his darker half, he is hunted by secret organizations and ancient monsters. Shadowy groups like the MIO and the Tenebrae seek to harness Hyde’s power for their own agendas. The horror fiction story explores themes of duality and morality as Robert tries to protect those he loves while battling his internal demons.
This journey leads him across the globe, from Ceylon back to the fog-drenched streets of the British capital. The series consists of ten episodes.
