*Updated with official trailer* All of the major networks are making announcements related to their fall programming schedules and Fox will be airing a new Sleepy Hollow TV series later this year. We already brought you the first casting and story news, and now we have the first photos from the pilot episode:
“From co-creators/executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (the Star Trek and Transformers franchises, Fringe), the thrilling new action-adventure Sleepy Hollow is a modern-day retelling of Washington Irving’s classic. ICHABOD CRANE (Tom Mison) is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to find that the world is on the brink of destruction and that he is humanity’s last hope, forcing him to team up with a contemporary police officer (Nicole Beharie) to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers. Sleepy Hollow is from K/O Paper Products in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series is co-created by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Phillip Iscove and Len Wiseman (Hawaii Five-0, Underworld and Total Recall). The series is executive-produced by Kurtzman, Orci and Wiseman and Heather Kadin. Iscove serves as supervising producer. Wiseman directed the pilot.”
Joining Mison on the pilot is Orlando Jones and Katia Winter. Jones is playing Lt. Frank Williams, while Katia Winter has taken on the role of Crane’s wife. There are no details on how many episodes have been ordered or when the show will premiere, but we’ll have more information in the coming months.
