"Sleepy Hollow" season 3 ended with a shocking cliffhanger when Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie) was killed off, leaving Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) to continue his adventures alone. Speaking to E! Online, actor Tom Mison has addressed what this means for the show when season 4 premieres during this coming fall.
According to Mison, he has always viewed his character as the sidekick and Abbie Mills as the main character since she was the one who served as the eyes for the audience. She was the one explaining the world and lore to the audience just as she was explaining them to Ichabod.
Mison also confirms that there is a level of controversy with Abbie being killed off particularly since she is a woman of color in a lead role, something now often seen even in today's more open-minded society. With her gone there is going to be a noticeable gap even if the studios find someone new to take her place as Ichabod's new Witness.
"It seems to have been set up that Ichabod will go and join this new organization set up by Washington," explained Mison. "I would really like, particularly if it does take Ichabod to Washington, we are entering into one of the weirdest times in modern American history. We shouldn't hide from the fact that there has to be some dark underground force that is making this surreal turn of events happen."
He did point out that if the show would move to Washington, it could play with real-life politics, noting that the United States is in a strange place now that controversial people like Donald Trump are running for the U.S. Presidency.
Mison did not state when "Sleepy Hollow" season 4 would be premiering but given how the first two seasons premiered in late September and with season 3 premiering in October, it is speculated that season 4 would launch around the same time frame.
