Trivia / Sleepy Hollow

• California Doubling: Although Sleepy Hollow is in upstate New York, the series is filmed in North Carolina.
• Executive Meddling: A rare moment where the network acknowledged it, and even seemed to take pride in it. During season 2 the pretty serialized main Story Arc left the way for a more broadcast network typical Monster of the Week approach, which Fox signaled in press tours was something they suggested to the show's writers, and was here to stay. Come season 3, the show acquired a new showrunner.
• Fake Brit: Both for real (see Fake Nationality below) and in-universe, when Ichabod mistakes a woman for Katrina and she speaks to him with an English accent - until he corrects a mistake she made, whereupon she switches to her regular American voice and tells him he's at a historical recreation.
• Fake Nationality: Katia Winter is from Sweden. Also, Jenny Mills and Ichabod's father are played by Canadians (Lyndie Greenwood and Victor Garber).
• Fan Community Nickname: Fans are known as Sleepy Heads.
• Hostility on the Set: Orlando Jones and Nicole Beharie have alluded in interviews after the show was cancelled that the show was quite difficult to work on. Journalist Maureen Ryan's book Burn It Down all but confirmed that the showrunners had a grudge against Beharie from day one, with strong implications of racism and misogyny at play. Jones also implied that the show was going to underpay him for his role as well.
• Playing Against Type:
  • Clancy Brown, the Kurgan as the warm father figure/ghostly spiritual advisor and John Cho, the MILF Guy, Harold Lee and Hikaru Sulu as The Mole.
  • Orlando Jones playing a rare serious role with Frank Irving.
• You Look Familiar:
  • Months before the Bones/Sleepy Hollow - crossover episode, Jessica Camacho, who plays Jenny's rival Sophia Foster, was guest starring on Bones (as another character).
  • There's also an actor who played a character on this series and then ended up playing another character on Bones who shared the same last name.
