ABC is developing the steampunk adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Yes, really.

With one set of public world heroes already settle in comfortably at Once Upon a Time , ABC is ready to give a yoke of Greco-Roman American characters a mod update . The web has announce that it is developing Finn & Sawyer , a tec idiot box series about Mark Twain ’s Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn set in a steampunk version of New Orleans .

The Hollywood Reporter has bring out that Jason Richman and David Zabel ( who produced ABC ’s Detroit 1 - 8 - 7 ) are developing the Finn & Sawyer pilot for ABC , which will orbit around the two troublemakers who contact again as 20 - somethings and open up an investigation firm in retrofuturistic New Orleans .

As gimmicky as “ steampunk Huck and Tom ” sounds , the characters really may be quite well suitable for steampunk . Twain ’s novel Tom Sawyer Abroad was a play on Jules Verne - fashion adventure story , and featured a mad prof and his ridiculous , futurist airship . And Tom Sawyer had his own closed book story with Tom Sawyer , Detective . However , Twain was poking play at the conventions of these music genre , not merely using them as vehicles for his role . If the archetype progresses , we ’ll have to see if the Creator habituate Huck and Tom to their full satirical effect .
