Thanks to Mr. Edmodo for the heads up.
We noticed something was amiss earlier today on the schedule for Room 6A – namely, that there was a noticeable gap, right where Sleepy Hollow was originally scheduled for.
We’ve reached out to 20th Century Fox representatives and confirmed.
Unfortunately, due to production beginning early on the new season, SLEEPY HOLLOW had to release their panel time!
That’s unfortunate news for fans of the series, especially considering last year had a huge presence for the show, with an added offsite over in Petco’s Interactive Zone. On the bright side, it means the cast and crew is busy creating season three.

Bummer :(
ReplyDeleteAw, poo. I was looking forward to hearing what all they had planned for the new season. But eh, guess that's what spoiler articles and show tweets are for, right? It is good to hear they're back at work, though!
ReplyDeleteI do feel for the people who'd looked forward to the panel, however. Shame they'll be missing out.
It's not like it deserves it anyway. The tremendous drop in quality in Season 2 was unforgivable.
ReplyDeleteAt least, it mean that the production team is dedicating to make Sleepy Hollow get back to be popular like Season 1
ReplyDeleteA real shame. Really wanted to hear the latest news about Season 3.
ReplyDeleteThat's harsh.Many shows suffers from a creative setback one season or another.That's doesn't mean they don't deserve to be at Comic-con.
ReplyDeleteThis!
ReplyDeleteAww,that's too bad. I was looking forward to seeing them.

ReplyDeleteI just recently marathoned the whole series again from start to finish, and aside from the frustrating and obvious fan pandering it was so much better the second time around. I really enjoyed how much more serialized it felt from s1 and I really loved Katrina a lot more than I did before up until the extreme case of fan pandering when they turn her evil at the drop of a hat. That is what ruins s2. But anyway here's to hoping the writers have learned to tell what they think is a good story and ignore the emotional and loud fans on social media. They need to tell a story that doesn't feel like it's being dictated by online discussions.
ReplyDeleteAnd aside from how you feel about it to say they don't "deserve" to be at comic Con is a ludicrous statement.
As for Katrina,they had no idea what to do about her so they took the easy way out.
ReplyDeleteBecause of production starting early?
ReplyDeleteNah, something tells me that this was about someone not wanting to pay the expenses. SH is pretty bad concerning its financial success, so I guess not going to SDCC is going to save some money
fan pandering, reason#1 I lost respect for the show itself
ReplyDeleteDo not agree with you on either account. The season was not as bad as the ugliness the fans created claimed. I do not blame the show for not wanting to attend a panel after the way they were so harshly treated.
ReplyDeleteThey should've taken the easier way out sooner. Lol
ReplyDeleteAt least that way it wouldn't have felt so abrupt & convenient.
ReplyDeleteExactly! This really would've helped them out! They got rid of the two biggest problems with the show and to have given fans information on season 3, would've really done wonders for the season. Smh.
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree.This was their window of opportunity and they missed it.Urgh!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was overdue and necessary. Her actual ending I mean. I actually didn't mind the turn to villainous status, at least that way she became slightly interesting and I didn't have to hear her freaking whispering!!
ReplyDeleteLOL same Here.
ReplyDeleteI need to start mapping out my shows. I haven't done it yet, which is odd. I usually have it done already. Eh, maybe I'll do it today.
ReplyDeleteWho should shows pander to if not their fans? Should they pander to those who don't watch their show, or should they pander to the few who favor one character for no other reason than her attachment to the show's male lead? Sleepy Hollow has lost 60% of its audience since its season one premiere. Maybe they should keep going down the road they were going and lose the other 40%. Season two was a travesty. Crane Family Drama was an utter failure and so was turning the apocalypse into a fight over a woman. Were fans the only ones complaining, those of you who claim fan pandering might have had a leg to stand on, but because most critics agreed that the show had chosen to focus on weak characters and their storyline, YOU DO NOT. Get over it, the show's weakest links have been dealt with and hopefully season three will return with a better storyline and renewed focus on the two witnesses.
ReplyDeleteSo true.
ReplyDeleteIt was the fans who saved this show. Those who loved the original show and its premise. Katrina fans, all 5 of them, later gathered an attempted to get the show canceled. If you don't like it, don't watch. You'll simply be joining the other 60% who bailed after having the show turn into a colonial soap opera.
ReplyDeleteThey'll most likely be at New York Comic Con in October. Still, it would have been nice to get some new before the season began.
ReplyDeleteMissed opportunity really but I guess they might be a little worried about dealing with the fans after last season and just want to put there heads down and get on with it.
ReplyDeleteI loved both seasons and will be with it to the end as I think the premise and characters are marvelous.
ReplyDeleteMaybe.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, "All 5 of them." LMFAO!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, but that's a really bad coverup. FOX knew months in advance the show's panel time and could have easily rescheduled production. The real reason is likely closer to the creative changes are a mess and FOX has completely lost confidence in this series. They don't want to deal with negative PR for the show, so it's easier to not deal with it at all.
ReplyDeleteNot only has fans noticed, but FOX. I don't expect season 3 to be any better creative wise or with the ratings.
ReplyDeleteThe costs of attending outweigh the benefits of attending and that's why the decision was made. FOX has abandoned all hope on making this show successful.
ReplyDeleteThere's more then one Comic-Con so I had to click on the article to see which one they were talking about.
ReplyDeletethe weakest links in YOUR book.
ReplyDeleteMy weakest link was...oh you guessed it, the ship that fans forcefully forced on the show
There's only ONE SDCC though. SDCC is the biggest and most well known comic-con
ReplyDeleteNY and others aren't nearly as big. If you are genre and you aren't at San Diego, you aren't on the radar.
ReplyDeleteExactly. Which is why their absence isn't that significant beyond fan disappointment, which of course makes one feel bad for those looking forward to the panel.
ReplyDeleteBut it certainly doesn't have a bearing on financial success or network creative confidence, as mentioned by someone else. That is completely incorrect in the reality of the industry and said from a person unfamiliar with how panels work.
Yep (to your Fox statement).
ReplyDeleteWhispering! Hahaha.That is true. Maybe the writers actually thought it added a layer of mystery to her character. Well,i didn't see any but thanks for trying anyway!
ReplyDeleteSorry to be pessimistic, but what if they aren't going back to form?
ReplyDeleteMy issue was that killing Katrina or making her evil just seemed the easiest route to go with her character. I just felt that with a show as creative as this one showed itself to be, especially in the first season, there could've been other things they could've done with her character. And if not so much for her specifically, then maybe there could've been interesting, new ways to make her and Ichabod not be together so that those who liked Ichabod and Abbie didn't have her standing in the way. Maybe something about their 200 plus years apart rendered their marriage null and void. Or maybe Katrina, once she got into the 21st century, saw how independent modern women are, saw the attitudes about marriage changing so drastically from her day, and she decided she wanted to explore that sort of life for herself. Whatever. Something different other than the usual "kill/make evil" options*.
ReplyDeleteIt just seems killing characters off or making them evil, especially those characters who are in the way of a favored pairing, are the automatic go-to options on so many TV shows, and it's too simplistic a solution a lot of the time. I just think it would've been interesting to see this show handle that aspect a little differently and in a unique way. That was my big thing. That, and I felt a little weird about the idea of Ichabod being the one to kill his wife-if she must die, I might've maybe gone a different route in letting that play out.
*And for all the complaints I hear fans make about the whole idea of "fridging" and "women dying for manpain", and how common that is on TV shows, it's amazing how often I'll see fans then turn around and be so eager to support killing off a female character if it's one they don't like. I also never understood complaining about the overload of Crane angst while in the same breath supporting the idea of his wife dying, 'Cause apparently that wouldn't cause any Crane angst in and of itself, I guess.
Well, at least us fans would be able to judge one way or another if they'd been able to come to the convention and share their plans for the upcoming season. I think a chance to get some good PR for the show, or at least attempt it, certainly wouldn't hurt right about now.
ReplyDeleteI actually liked season 2 for the most part as well. It wasn't perfect, no, and there were certain things I would've handled differently, but I think there were some good ideas and concepts in there, and some episodes I really liked.
ReplyDeleteI do hope for the best for the show going forward, though, and I definitely agree that they, and any show, frankly, for that matter, should start relying less and less on what the loudest fans on social media want. I think it's great shows and their fans can connect, and don't want to take that away altogether, but writers of shows do still need to remember they are the ones in charge of the stories they tell, not the fans.
Hahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteI liked Katrina. I hated the fan pandering and season 2 as a whole. I will be one of the many who have dropped the show and actually wish I could brain bleach the entire second season. In retrospect I wish they had cancelled the show instead of airing such a disappointing season.
ReplyDeleteShows shouldn't pander to anyone. The writers should tell their stories. Most of the time fan pandering leads to trite stories, weakened characters, and a general mess. Sleepy Hollow is a case in point.
ReplyDeleteThen they are screwed, the fans that are left are not going to take on bad quality for that much longer. They don't have a choice if they want to keep the show going.
ReplyDeleteThat's unfortunate...
