'SLEEPY HOLLOW' SEASON 3 SNEAK PEEK

If it has seemed like far too long since “Sleepy Hollow’s” season 2 finale, it’s been even longer for our favorite witnesses.  Over a year has passed since the events of last May’s season finale in which Ichabod (Tom Mison) was forced to kill his troublesome wife, Katrina.  “Sleepy Hollow” returns with new characters, new villains and new haircuts, TVLine.com reports.  So long, Headless, your wickedly chiseled torso will be missed! Hello, Abbie’s (Nicole Beharie) chic new bob and Ichabod’s more modern coif.

“Sleepy Hollow’s” third season premieres tonight, and here’s what we know so far: Abbie Mills made good on her season 1 ambitions to attend Quantico. Meanwhile, Crane—attempting to figure how to exist in a modern world—visits England and at some point: jail. I am assuming Ichabod’s arrest is what brings Abbie back to town.  

New characters are also heading to the doomed hollow. Zach Appleman’s Joe Corbin returns as a series regular.  “Twilight’s” Nikki Reed and “Mistresses” Shannyn Sossaman also join the cast as celebrated seamstress Betsy Ross and foreboding Pandora, respectively.  Finally, Lance Gross will play Abbie's new boss, and possibly a new love interest?

If you had issues with last season, never fear!  New showrunner Clifton Campbell has heard your complaints that Abbie and Jenny (Lyndie Greenwood) were sidelined, and promises they are the focus of this season as our witnesses assemble to fight “the second tribulation” aka the newest iteration of apocalyptic evil.

Don’t miss the “Sleepy Hollow” premiere on Oct. 1 at 9/8c on Fox.  Until then, check out the sneak peek below!
