What if you suddenly woke up from the throes of death 250 years in the future to find the world is on the brink of destruction, caused by unimaginable events, and you are humanity's last hope? In this modern-day retelling of Washington Irving's classic, Ichabod Crane is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers. Revived alongside Ichabod is the infamous Headless Horseman who is on a murderous rampage in present-day Sleepy Hollow.

Bound to the Headless Horseman by a blood spell cast on the battlefield of the American Revolution, Ichabod quickly realizes that stopping Headless is just the beginning, as the resurrected rider is but the first of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. As this re-invented Ichabod finds himself in present-day Sleepy Hollow, he discovers a world he no longer recognizes. All that is brutally familiar are Headless and Ichabod's determination to annihilate this immortal being...

my take
I thought Scooby Doo covered the Headless Horseman years ago. It's essentially a police procedural with a time travel element. It's got a very good pedigree, but I don't have high hopes. Feels a bit like Fox's Alcatraz, which was one-and-done. I predict a similar fate for ol' Ichabod.
