Fox’s freshman drama Sleepy Hollow got good news yesterday. The supernatural drama has been given a green light for a second season.
The series follows a revived Ichabod Crane and modern-day police detective Abbie Mills as they attempt to save the town of Sleepy Hollow and the world from the forces of evil. It’s been a solid ratings hit for Fox since its debut three weeks ago.
The debut episode drew the highest ratings for a Fox drama since 24 debuted.
Fox has committed to 13 episodes for the first season of Sleepy Hollow. The renewal order is for another 13 episode that would serve as a second season. No word syet on if season one will run 13 episodes or get extended to a 22 installments.
“The show has proven to be a risk well worth taking. It’s a conceptual blast unlike anything else on television and it all holds together with inventive writing and a fantastic cast,” Fox entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly says in a statement accompanying the pickup announcement. “I can’t wait for fans to experience what else is in store for this fall and even more of this wild ride into Season 2.”
I’ve been surprised by this one…great writing and acting and an original concept with both humor and drama included. Happy to see the renewal.
