ABC is producing a Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn show

Jacob Penderworth -

Lesely Goldberg of The Hollywood Reporter, reporting that ABC is currently developing a new drama based on Mark Twain's novels:

The drama hails from Detroit 1-8-7 duo Jason Richman and David Zabel and is described as an adventure-themed reinvention that revolves around the two famed literary characters who re-meet as young men in their 20s and form an investigative firm in a bustling and steampunk New Orleans.
It will be titled Finn & Sawyer, according to the Reporter's sources. I, for one, am very excited to see what ABC can do with the legend.
