Season One of Sleepy Hollow was reported ordered on May 8, 2013[1] and premiered on Fox on September 16, 2013,[2] airing on Mondays 9:00/8:00c.[3]
Synopsis[]
After Ichabod Crane "dies" during a mission for General George Washington in 1781, he awakens in 2013 in Sleepy Hollow. But so does the Headless Horseman, whose head Ichabod lopped off before his perceived death. The Horseman begins his nightly killing spree, and Ichabod must partner with lieutenant Abbie Mills, trying to stop him.
While hunting the Horseman, Abbie looks into the old case files her longtime mentor Sheriff August Corbin, who becomes one of the Horseman's first victims. In doing so, Abbie and Ichabod learn of two types of occult groups: one fighting for good, once lead by Ichabod's wife Katrina Crane, who is now stuck between the living and the dead; and the other serving evil, and possibly being responsible for having resurrected the Horseman. Coming to believe that the Horseman is of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as foreseen in the Bible, Ichabod and Abbie are faced with their own demons, as well as powerful and evil characters from myths and legends, in their fight to prevent the ending of the world.
Ichabod must also adjust to the social and technological differences of the 21st century. Given the fact that he claims to be from the time of the Revolution, local law enforcement - not the least Captain Frank Irving - sincerely questions his sanity, but finds him an reliable ally in fighting the evil suddenly popping up all around Sleepy Hollow.

Trivia[]
- A series of short videos, The Corbin Files, is being released simultaneously as Season One, on YouTube. It can also be found on the boxset as well as one of its special features.
- It took a year and a half to develop/edit everything needed for Season One according to the short, "Welcome to Sleepy Hollow."
- The director wasn't too fond on the American actors being auditioned as Ichabod, and that was when he came across Tom Mison, who actually pulled it off without wearing a beard, mustache, nor his signature wig.
