Sleepy Hollow: Why is Captain Irving Gone?
Sleepy Hollow returns Thursday night for Season 3, and changes are afoot. IGN has an exclusive clip from the season premiere, as Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) is back in town after time away, and, having been reunited with Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie), sees Jenny (Lyndie Greenwood) for the first time since his return.

In the premiere, the discovery of a mysterious tablet shows that there may be a new dark prophecy surrounding Witnesses Ichabod and Abbie. The two team together, with the help of an old amulet, in an episode called "I, Witness."
