Fox's supernatural series "Sleepy Hollow" Season 4 will soon return to television with its handsome protagonist, Ichabod Crane (played by Tom Mison). However, the network's prospects about its viewerships are not very optimistic, especially since Crane's old partner, Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie) will be replaced by a new love interest in the form of Diana (Janina Gavankar).
Given such a major change, Fox pragmatically projects that the popular TV show would lose a number of its core fans, especially those who were rooting for Abbie to end up with Ichabod Crane. However, it remained hopeful that this would only be a temporary setback as "Sleepy Hollow" Season 4 tries to reestablish a new storyline arc, mood and tone that are bound to stick to viewers' minds, according to Cinemablend.
As such, "Sleepy Hollow" Season 4 will act as a kind of soft reboot for the series, the same report noted. The show is not a stranger to such changes, either, as it had previously adjusted its storyline when John Noble and Katia Winter exited the show.
What happened before
As fans would remember, "Sleepy Hollow" Season 3 ended with Abbie sacrificing herself to save Ichabod Crane and company. This is to give way to Nicole Beharie's exit from the show. Before her sendoff, several other characters left the crew, which almost scuttled any possibility of "Sleepy Hollow" Season 4 happening, according to E! Online.
However, the producers of "Sleepy Hollow" Season 4 managed to piece together a new storyline for the abandoned protagonist, Ichabod Crane, as he seeks a new life in Washington to look for the Second Witness. There, he will be meeting new characters, such as Diana Thomas (Janina Gavankar), who is expected to be his new love interest, according to Den of Geek.
What will happen on 'Sleepy Hollow' Season 4
Jenny Mills (Lyndie Greenwood), Jake Wells (Jerry McKinnon), Alex Norwood (Rachel Melvin) and Molly Thomas (Oona Yaffe) will also be part of the new team in "Sleepy Hollow" Season 4. The new season will also introduce a new villain, the multimillionaire Malcolm Dreyfuss (Jeremy Davies), according to TVLine.
