Sleepy Hollow gives John Noble & Lyndie Greenwood full time roles

John Noble, beloved licorice-eating kook from Fringe has been given a full time spot for Season 2 of Sleepy Hollow after his stellar performance as Henry Parrish in merely 3 episodes of their first season. I love this man.

Joining him full time will be Lyndie Greenwood, you may know her from Nikita. She’ll be a lovely addition to the full time cast this Fall as Jenny, offsetting her more rigid sister Abbie played by Nicole Beharie.

BEWARE: BEYOND HERE LIES SPOILERS

So what can we expect from Season 2? Certainly more uber creepy monsters!! As well as a very interesting twist to the way John will be playing his character, what with how he left it at the end of Season 1. The question is, is he full on Jeremy now? Or will Henry fight back to take control?

Also, Katrina is now out of purgatory. So it seems we’ll probably have silly moments where she deals with modern day life much like the way Ichabod did. I think a lot of us will also be asking if both of them will continue to wear period clothing or will they finally conform to modern wear? I suspect Katrina will be the first to do this. Helloooo? Not having to wear a corset??

I guess there will be questions and episodes related to getting Abbie out of purgatory. But if you’re like me, you’re not very interested in that. In my opinion, the powers that be need to up their A game and make Abbie a more compelling character because I’m booooored of her.

Season 2 of Sleepy Hollow starts shooting in March 2014, which is much earlier than most series that usually shoot in mid-summer. Also, they’re slated to do about 13 episodes, a pretty short order. But as FOX’s Chairman of Entertainment, Kevin Reilly, recently noted, “We may do a few more. There’s not a magic number. It was very heavy lifting this year. It’s a huge show. We had a hard time making airdates, and not because there’s anything wrong. It’s an enormous show… But I think for most shows and dramas in this day and age, it’s better for the audiences to focus and to do shorter orders. They don’t feel so ubiquitous — as if they go on forever. It feels like an appointment and something you can watch. And I think many dramas are just better creatively on a shorter-order pattern.”
