Ichabod Crane Meets Diana Malhotra
While most were expecting "Sleepy Hollow" season 4 won't air anymore after Abbie Mills death last season, Fox has decided to bring back the series on the small screen. Diana Malhotra (Janina Gavankar) will act as the new female lead alongside Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) come "Sleepy Hollow" season 4. The character of Nicole Beharie was such a fan-favorite that when she died last season, many fans are calling for the series to end per Christian Times. It appears that a lot of fans are not ready to see Ichabod alongside a new female lead.

Fox Entertainment president David Madden admitted as much, saying that it was a hard decision to give the go signal for "Sleepy Hollow" season 4. Nicole Beharie and Tom Mison became the focal point of the series and without either character, the show just feels incomplete. However, when the new storyline was presented to Madden, he reconsidered and decided to give it a shot. He further tells that there are still a lot of stories to tell, one of which includes the story of Ichabod and Diana.
Too Much 'Lucifer' Influence?
"Sleepy Hollow" season 4 will follow Ichabod in Washington D.C. where he'll meet Diana. They will be team up in solving crimes while fighting off supernatural beings per Entertainment Weekly. With this plot, many fans compare this to another series "Lucifer." They say that "Sleepy Hollow" will closely follow the plot details of "Lucifer."
"Lucifer" follows the story of the demon himself, living among the mortals in today's world. Some fans pointed out that Diana's character is similar to Lucifer's love interest Chloe Decker, who happens to be a single mother with a daughter too. "Sleepy Hollow" season 4 spoilers already revealed that Diana shares these characters as well. "Sleepy Hollow" season 4 is expected to air midseason of 2017 on Fox.
