Universal Channel has acquired the UK broadcast rights to Sleepy Hollow, the supernatural drama from Fox that reimagines Washington Irving’s classic tale. The series is slated to air later this year.
The show stars Tom Mison as Ichabod Crane, who awakens in modern-day America after centuries of slumber. Teaming up with a local police lieutenant, he faces the resurgence of dark forces threatening the present-day world.
Blending mystery, mythology, and action, Sleepy Hollow offers a fresh take on familiar legends. The show balances episodic storytelling with a larger serialized arc centered on apocalyptic prophecy and historical intrigue.
Universal Channel continues to build its reputation for delivering high-concept genre fare, and Sleepy Hollow fits squarely within that strategy.
With its stylish visuals and engaging mythology, the series is expected to draw fans of supernatural thrillers and modern fantasy.
