Interview with the Ladies Of Sleepy Hollow

Whilst at Birmingham Comic Con this weekend, I had the opportunity to sit in on a round table discussion with the ladies from Sleepy Hollow, including Nicole Beharie (Lt. Abbie Mills, the police partner of Tom Mison’s Ichabod Crane), Katia Winter (Katrina Crane – Ichabod’s wife, who’s stuck in purgatory), and Lyndie Greenwood (Jenny Mills, the kick-ass sister of Abbie).
Sleepy Hollow is a modern day retelling of the classic Washington Irving story of Ichabod Crane, and his encounter with the Headless Horseman. In this version however, it’s Ichabod who beheads the horseman, only to be ‘killed’ in the process. Skip forward to modern day, and Crane awakes to find himself buried in a cave, a man out of time… After befriending Lt. Abbie Mills, the pair discover they are prophesied to be the ‘two witnesses’ to the Apocalypse. Deciding that’s probably not the best job in the world, the duo battle to quash the oncoming evil, and prevent the end of days.
Sleepy Hollow has recently finished airing on Universal in the UK, and is due back for a 2nd season in the Autumn.

The latest special guests to be announced for MCM Birmingham Comic Con are Sleepy Hollow’s Nicole Beharie and Katia Winter.

Heralded by Time magazine as one of the ten best new TV shows of 2013, Fox series Sleepy Hollow sees Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) resurrected in 21st Century New York – once again pitted against his old adversary, the Headless Horseman.

Nicole Beharie plays the show’s co-protagonist Lt. Grace Abigail ‘Abbie’ Mills – a sheriff detective in the small town of Sleepy Hollow, who teams up with Ichabod to prevent the coming apocalypse.

Katia Winter plays Katrina Crane, Ichabod’s wife and a secret witch who cast the spell that binds Ichabod to the Headless Horseman. She appears to Ichabod in a series of visions throughout the series, warning him of future perils.

The success of Sleepy Hollow has seen a second season of the show commissioned, which is set to air later in 2014.

Nicole Beharie’s credits also include Steve McQueen’s film Shame and she recently starred in 42, Brian Helgeland’s film about baseball legend Jackie Robinson. Katia Winter is also best known for her recurring role as Nadia in Dexter, and will appear in Terrence Malick’s upcoming film, Knight Of Cups.

Nicole Beharie and Katia Winter will be present during both days of the MCM Birmingham Comic Con, which takes place at The NEC on 22-23 March. You can purchase tickets and find out more about the event by clicking here.
