FOX offically kicks off the 2013/2014 television season tonight with the ninth season premiere of Bones, followed by the premiere of the new supernatural drama, Sleepy Hollow.
We're all familiar with the story of the town of Sleepy Hollow and how it was terrorized by a Headless Horseman. This show looks to re-tell the story using a modern twist by sending 18th century soldier, Ichabod Crane, to the future where he teams up with African-American sheriff, Abbie Mills, to stop the Horseman, who came to the future with him. Whew.
This could be seriously convoluted. There is the time travel aspect which is always confusing. You have to suspend disbelief that a sheriff would believe some crazy dude in Colonial clothes and then would team up with him. It's like the supernatural equivalent of the procedurals where the police bring in some civilian who can do their jobs better than they can. Even though this show has the potential to be a giant train wreck, I have faith in it. A lot of that faith comes from the fact that is written and executive produced by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. They have been behind some of my favorite shows like Alias and Fringe, the best sci-fi show of the past 5 years.
After the jump you can check out the trailer for Sleepy Hollow.
Sleepy Hollow premieres tonight at 9/8c on FOX.
So, what do you guys think? Will you be giving the pilot a try? Are you excited for it? Let me know in the comments.
