“Legend of the Seeker” star Tabrett Bethell is trading in her leather for a corset to play a character named Sarah in the pilot for ABC’s “Poe,” a 19th-century based crime procedural that reintroduces famed horror author Edgar Allan Poe as the world’s first detective.

Bethall, who played witty warrior babe Cara on the ABC Studios fantasy series “Legend of the Seeker” during its two-year run (the show was canceled last April), is a former fashion model and rugby cheerleader in Australia. As of now, there’s no background on the 29-year-old shelia’s character.

Chris Egan is ABC's Edgar Allan Poe

Set in 1840’s Boston, “Poe” will present cases inspired by the goth master’s work—played by 26-year-old Aussie actor Chris Egan, best known for his roles on Resident Evil: Extinction and the dragon-fantasy Eragon. Alex Graves (“Journeyman”) will direct the Warner Bros. produced pilot from a script by TV writer Christopher Hollier.

The pilot is slated to shoot in Toronto on March 14.
