Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story
Created by Brian Henson
On CBS
A fantastical reimagining of a classic fairy tale that blends modern-day mystery with magical adventure, balancing whimsy against a family curse.
Wealthy developer Jack Robinson is stunned when a gigantic human skeleton is discovered on his building site. According to a mysterious woman, it is part of a curse that has dogged his family for years. To lift the jinx placed upon him, Jack will need to visit the land in the sky - by climbing up a very tall beanstalk.
