Is Dickens coming back?

The show Dickens is currently in development.

Dickens is a historical drama that explores the life and times of Charles Dickens, focusing on his experiences in Victorian London and how they influenced his literary work. The series aims to depict his nocturnal explorations of the city, his encounters with various characters, and the social injustices he sought to highlight through his stories. It also traces his creative evolution, revealing how real-life events and personal hardships shaped classics like Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and A Christmas Carol. The show was planned to include dramatizations of pivotal moments from Dickens' life, such as his childhood in a boot blacking factory and his journalistic reporting during the 1849 Tooting cholera outbreak.
