On November 12, 2012, NBC reduced its episode order for the series from 13 to 12 episodes, due to scheduling conflicts[3] (13 episodes were produced and eventually aired).
On February 8, 2013, it was announced that NBC had canceled the series after airing two episodes, due to low ratings. On April 26, 2013, NBC announced that the remaining episodes would be burned off, beginning June 29, 2013.
Premise
The series focuses on Dr. Jason Cole (Steven Pasquale), a successful neurosurgeon with a secret. Every night at 8:25 p.m., and lasting exactly 12 hours, Cole is switched into an alternate, evil personality named Ian Price. Cole has been able to suppress Price by injecting a strong pharmaceutical mixture that sedates their shared body, rendering it impossible for the evil alter ego to function. But one night Cole discovers that their body has grown immune to the drug and Price has emerged in a rage. Angry at having been suppressed, Cole's alternate personality is focused on wreaking havoc on Cole's life, creating problems that could cost him his romance, career, and even his life.
The series is a modern take on the classic Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde story.

Reception
The series has received a 38 out of 100 on Metacritic. It also had the lowest-rated in-season scripted premiere ever on the four major broadcast networks.
Entertainment Weekly wrote that "the Jekyll-and-Hyde medical drama...set a record as the lowest-rated in-season drama debut in modern history...and was axed after two episodes," the show being one of many that harmed NBC's winter line-up.
