Furthermore, new updates revealed the coming of new characters in the forthcoming season which will include a certain Sheriff Reyes which is to be played by Sakina Jaffrey and Nick Hawley to be portrayed by 'Hellcats'' Matt Barr.
According to reports, Sheriff Reyes will be replacing Orlando Jones' Captain Frank Irving as the latter is now in jail. In an interview, the 29-year-old Beharie described the character as a "hard-nosed, takes-no-prisoners, get-in-line kind of woman."
On the other hand, Matt Barr's Nick Hawley will act as an arms dealer whose knowledge on mythological weaponry could prove essential for Ichabod and Abbie. Showrunner Len Wiseman said that the two protagonists need to deal with the weapons expert while keeping an eye on him because "they don't trust him."
"Sleepy Hollow" will return with its brand new season on Monday, Sept. 22, 9 p.m. on FOX.
