One of the main panels at Comic Con Birmingham this weekend was with the ladies of Sleepy Hollow! They included Nicole Beharie, who plays Lt. Abbie Mills, the police partner of Tom Mison’s Ichabod Crane. Katia Winter who plays Katrina, Ichabod’s wife, and Lyndie Greenwood who plays Jenny Mills, Abbie’s kick-ass sister.
If you have yet to catch the show, it’s from Star Trek writers and JJ Abrams alumni Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci, and is a modern retelling of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving. In this version, Ichabod is part of the War of Independence, seeming slain but not before removing the head of a Hessian soldier… It’s somewhat to his surprise then, when he wakes up in a cave in the 21st century! After befriending police Lt. Abbie Mills, the pair discover they’re ‘the 2 witnesses’ see the ‘end of days’…
