Sleepy Hollow goes into its fourth season after some major changes that essentially constitute a soft reboot, but though nearly the entire cast has been revamped and the premise somewhat adjusted, a familiar face will be returning to the Fox show: John Noble, who played Henry Parrish/Jeremy Crane/The Horseman of War in the first and second seasons.
No details on how Henry Parrish’s return is possible – the character was killed off at the end of season 2 – but Noble was revealed at the end of a still-unreleased season 4 sizzle reel showed to fans attending the show’s New York Comic-Con panel that brought the convention to a close this afternoon.
Gavankar also talked at length about how her character came together. “We’re all very complex people and we don’t have to constantly talk about their race,” she said about her character, an Indian-American single mother. However, Gavankar did want to represent the vast diversity of the Indian community worldwide, which influenced how her character’s name came about. “There are over a billion Indians on this planet, we have a diverse set of last names. And since we’re talking about biblical histories, it would be interesting to make this girl Christian.” Noting that there are millions of Indian Christians, Gavankar said “we changed her last name to [give] her a very Indian Christian last name.”
It was announced that Benjamin Banneker will be a character on the show. A freeborn African American almanac author, surveyor, naturalist and farmer, Banneker was an important but oft-forgotten figure of the Revolutionary War period who was part of the survey team that helped create Washington, D.C., opposed slavery, and corresponded with Thomas Jefferson on the subject. He’ll appear in the show’s flashback scenes.

We meet Jake (new cast member Jerry MacKinnon) and Alex (Days of Our Lives‘ Rachel Melvin), who will be Ichabod’s new colleagues. They work in the secret archives alluded to in the Season 3 finale and “catalog everything from the fringe for our files,” Jake tells Ichabod. “Most people just think we’re this weird library.”
The new archives, which house “the secret history of America,’ are bigger and grander than those back in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.
Jenny has relocated to D.C. to continue the fight with Ichabod; he introduces her to someone as “soldier, scholar and all-around badass.”
The search for the new second Witness is very much on Ichabod and Jenny’s minds.
