Using the 1979 novel and movie as a launching point, Time After Time chronicles the adventures of a young H.G. Wells as he travels through centuries, decades and days in the time machine he created.
While in the pursuit of the charismatic (yet secretly psychopathic) Dr. John Stevenson, better known as "Jack the Ripper," Wells travels to modern day New York City in search of Stevenson following the doctor's brazen escape from authorities in Wells' London home.
But instead of the Utopia he imagined, Wells finds a world more aligned with Stevenson's temperament that leads him on a daring adventure full of mystery, romance and intrigue.
Using creative elements from many of Wells' classic stories, beginning with The Time Machine and The Invisible Man to The Island of Dr. Moreau and others, Time After Time creates a fantasy world surrounding the events that inspired these great literary works that focus on the best and worst of human nature and its relationship to science and technology.
Using the time machine to launch the series, Time After Time is not a time travel show, rather it's a series that looks at the world of today through the eyes of yesterday while fully charged with danger and adventure and centered in thrills, satire, humour - and most of all - an epic love story.
