Sleepy Hollow

During a late night investigation, a man long believed dead reappears in modern times. Ichabod Crane, a veteran of the 18th century who has seen the worst of the founding era, wakes to a world filled with machines and mysteries. He partners with a determined local detective to untangle a danger that stretches back to the nation’s earliest days. Together they chase clues that fuse folklore, science and a growing sense that something immortal still haunts Sleepy Hollow. The series leans into mood and suspense as it treads between myth and crime, offering a stylish blend of supernatural intrigue and procedural tempo without tipping into familiar techno-thrillers. Set against a city where historic facades mask hidden agendas Crane and the detective wrestle with who to trust.

Sleepy Hollow premiered on Fox in 2013 with Len Wiseman directing the debut. The show comes from Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Wiseman, reimagining Washington Irving's legend as a contemporary mystery led by Crane and a tenacious partner in investigations.

Box office figures do not apply to a television series and there was no theatrical release. Sleepy Hollow relied on Fox's ratings, ad revenue and streaming to reach viewers, rather than grosses associated with movies. Promotional campaigns amplified its audience.

Cultural impact grew as the series fused old world myth with modern investigation, catching the attention of fans and casual viewers alike. Tom Mison's Crane became a memorable presence, inspiring cosplay and discussion about how legends travel into city life and screen storytelling.

Critics generally welcomed the atmosphere and performances while noting uneven plotting at times. The show looks at themes of fate versus choice, history's weight on the present, and how legends collide with science to shape moral choices in a fast changing world.
