Cinema Blend highlights that "Sleepy Hollow" Season 4 had been a last-minute effort by the writing team to breathe extended life into the Fox series. Deadline cites Fox entertainment president David Madden in revealing that the first seven scripts pitched for "Sleepy Hollow" Season 4 provided the convincing factor to continue Ichabod Crane's journey even without Abbie Mills.

While the previous seasons lent weight to the blossoming connection between Abbie Mills and Ichabod Crane, "Sleepy Hollow" Season 4 will likely have Ichabod Crane focusing on his mission as a Witness. Washington DC will be a breath of fresh air, opening "Sleepy Hollow" Season 4 to a bigger range of villainy and heroism outside of Sleepy Hollow, New York.

The "Sleepy Hollow" Season 4 premiere is anticipated to air on Fox by early 2017. Would you want to see Nicole Beharie pop in as Abbie Mills at "Sleepy Hollow" Season 4?
