ABC greenlit an Edgar Allen Poe pilot:

The crime procedural Poe follows Edgar Allan Poe as the world’s first detective. He employs unorthodox methods to investigate dark mysteries in 1840s Boston. The project will tell how some of Poe’s famous stories came to be, but only some episodes will be about a specific Poe story.

Almost sounds like a sequel to Louis Bayard’s The Pale Blue Eye (my review)
