TV show description:
This mystery-adventure drama is a modern-day take on the classic Washington Irving story. Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers. Unfortunately, the infamous Headless Horseman is also revived and goes on a murderous rampage in present-day Sleepy Hollow.
Ichabod quickly realizes that his old adversary is just the beginning, as the resurrected rider is but the first of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He’s only one of the many formidable foes that Ichabod must face to protect not only Sleepy Hollow, but the world.
In 2013 Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod discovers a town that he no longer recognizes and grapples to understand how it works. He teams up with Lieutenant Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie), a young cop who has her own supernatural experiences.
Clues from the past enlighten mysteries in the present, thanks to flashbacks of Ichabod’s life in 1776. The divide between present and past become dangerously blurred and lives are left in the balance — including that of Ichabod’s late wife, Katrina (Katia Winter), who’s trapped in a mysterious netherworld. In his pursuit to save her, Ichabod uncovers secrets about her which leave him with even more questions.
Not everyone believes Ichabod’s tales of 1776 and supernatural evils — especially the new head of Abbie’s police precinct, Captain Frank Irving (Orlando Jones). When faced with bizarre events he can’t explain, Irving reluctantly turns to Ichabod and Abbie to investigate.
The complex pasts of Ichabod and Abbie — from his inclusion in the powerful and secretive Freemasons Society to her childhood visions — will help them solve the intricate puzzles of Sleepy Hollow and hopefully save the world.

What do you think? Do you like the Sleepy Hollow TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
I enjoyed the show very much and was extremely disappointed that it was cancelled. Return to a Friday night would be great
The Sleepy Hallow series was fantastic for the first two years/seasons. The overarching story was woven together very wonderfully as it took historical places, people, and events and connected the events in modern times. I LOVED the shoe. However, after the second season something happened. Either the original writer/writers had gone to the creative well too often and it dried up, or new writers were brought in and turned the series into something completely different. The later shows became some odd amalgam of modern government agents who know about all the monsters and they are now some grand secret agency… Read more »
