Think you know Ben? Think again!
Rejoice, Sleepy Hollow fans. We are just days away from the season two premiere, mercifully bringing a Ichabod-less hiatus to an end. And what better way to head into the weekend than with a fun tease of what’s to come on Fox’s breakout hit, including a new twist on Benjamin Franklin?!
The Founding Father, played by Timothy Busfield, was once Ichabod Crane’s (Tom Mison) mentor, and through flashbacks, we’ll learn a lot about the “shocking life” of “the First American.”
And we’ve got the exclusive video to prove it…
VIDEO: “Evil takes hold” in Sleepy‘s wild promo
In the ridiculously fun clip above, “American History: Uncovered” gives viewers a small tease of “The Shocking Life of Benjamin Franklin,” saying, “Behind that iconic image on the dollar bill, lies a whole world of danger and deception that has remained a secret…until now.” And it looks like Sleepy will be putting its own signature crazy twist on the infamous story of Franklin’s kite. Plus, the video gives us a quick glimpse at one of the inventor’s “greatest experiments.”
And fans will be seeing a lot of Franklin as Busfield is set to recur in season two.
“Starting in the premiere, we’re going to see a lot of Benjamin Franklin,” executive producer Mark Goffman teased at Comic-Con. “[Crane and Franklin] have an uneasy relationship.”
Of course, Franklin isn’t the only historical figure making an appearance on Sleepy, as Goffman added, “And Benedict Arnold makes an appearance.”
Sleepy Hollow returns Monday, Sept. 22 at 9 p.m. on Fox.
