The BBC has commissioned a new version of Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers.
An adaptation of the 1938 Alfred Hitchcock film The Lady Vanishes will also make up part of 20 hours of drama from BBC Productions.
The Musketeers - intended as a returning series - has been written by Adrian Hodges (Primeval, My Week with Marilyn) and will run for ten 60-minute episodes in 2014.
The Lady Vanishes - a single 90-minute drama - has been adapted by Fiona Seres (The Silence) and is expected to air on BBC One this Christmas.
Soldier Soldier creator Lucy Gannon has also been commissioned to write six-part drama Frankie for transmission in 2013. The BBC One series will follows a district nurse - described as "a heroine for the modern age" - who fights for her patients.
"These new BBC One commissions from drama present a richly ambitious slate that will thrill, move and delight audiences," said BBC One controller Danny Cohen.
BBC Three will also air a new supernatural drama set in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. In The Flesh has been written by newcomer Dominic Mitchell and will run for three 90-minute instalments.
"This raft of new drama reflects the range and ambition of in-house," said Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning,
"A unique mix of classic and contemporary pieces have produced surprising and original scripts, from both new and established writers - all of which represents a thriving creative team."
