FOX's new series
Sleepy Hollow is not quite what you might expect. A blend of a modern day
Sleepy Hollow, plus ideas from Rip Van Winkle, thrown in with some historial events and apocalypse mythology, makes for a unique new show.
The show follows Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison), who 250 years after the Revolutionary War wakes up in modern day Sleepy Hollow, and it's apparent that he didn't come back alone. After the sheriff (Clancy Brown) is killed by the Headless Horseman, Crane bonds with Detective Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie) as she strives to find the truth in not only his death, but to mysteries of her own past.
Co-creators and executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci recently talked to the press about the new series, which premieres Monday, September 16th, on FOX.
