ABC PICKS UP ‘POE’, ‘PAN AM’ DRAMA PILOTS, TWO MULTICAMERA COMEDIES

After just picking up a period soap, Pan Am, ABC has also green lighted a period PI show. In its second drama pilot order today and fourth overall, the network has
picked up Poe, a crime procedural following Edgar Allan Poe, the world’s very first detective, as he uses unconventional methods to investigate dark mysteries in 1840s Boston. Chris Hollier (Kyle XY) penned the project for Warner Bros. TV and Lin Pictures. He will
be supervising producer, with Dan Lin executive producing. It has been a very intriguing pilot pickup day at ABC with two pretty bold drama choices — unconventional takes on familiar franchises: soap, detective show — and two more conventional multi camera comedy
picks.
