According to executives at Hulu, the JV does not receive preferential treatment in negotiations for streaming rights to properties controlled by its parent companies.
Sleepy Hollow follows the heroic exploits of a ressurected Ichabod as he fights a plethora of supernatural bad guys or demons with police lieutenant Abbie Mills. Now is the best time to binge watch as Hulu acquires exclusive streaming rights for fan favorite supernatural series Sleepy Hollow. On October 3, 2013, Fox renewed Sleepy Hollow for a second season, which is set to premiere on September 22, 2014 and will contain 18 episodes.
If waiting for new Sleepy Hollow episodes seems like your own personal stunt in Purgatory, soon we’ll witness Abbie and Ichabod mission resume. The supernatural drama will return on Sept. 22 at 9/8c for a second season, the network announced at a screening and panel discussion held at California’s Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
The second season of FOX’s Sleepy Hollow is already in production, which means that all of the episodes will be ready to air in a row when the show returns in fall 2014. Sleepy Hollow will air on Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT, paired with the new comic book drama Gotham at 8.
“The show is going to be really, really strong,” promises FOX Entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly on a call with reporters to discuss the network’s 2014-15 TV schedule. The episodes might not run completely without interruption, but Reilly says he plans to air them “almost” all in a row.
Reilly says that like many of Sleepy Hollow’s fans, he also loved it and wished he could’ve seen more episodes in Season 1, but he knows that fewer episodes meant that the show was stronger creatively. “I wish we would’ve had more last season too, but I think it’s healthier for the show to have fewer episodes,” Reilly says.
