“This show is a blend of ‘Downton Abbey’ and ‘American Horror Story.’”

That’s one way actor Keith Brooks describes “Edgar Allan Poe’s Mystery Theatre,” a new public television historical drama series based on the life of Edgar Allan Poe, interwoven with the enigmatic author’s most bizarre tales. So far, only the pilot has been shot, but the creative team behind the new series already has the rest of the season sketched out. All this Georgia-based team needs is the financial backing and distribution to get the show running.
