Hello fans of Bones and Sleepy Hollow.
In case you don’t know about it. There is to be a Bones
and Sleepy
Hollow crossover, which will be a two-hour special this
fall that will probably blow your minds. Imagine, Ichabod Crane and Abbie Mills
stumbling over the Bones’ team of Brennan and Booth as they search for clues to
the same grisly murder case.
According to Sleepy
Hollow EP Clifton Campbell, “When the idea came about to create this crossover
event for fans, our writers’ room was immediately energized. The creative
freedom to merge these two worlds which, at face value, seem so different;
but at their core have such striking similarities – mystery, intrigue and
methodical deduction, wrapped up in such strong character partnerships – was a
challenge that we all welcomed, and we believe that fans of both series will be
very satisfied by the result. It was a terrific collaborative experience
across the board and we are eager to see the fan reaction to Ichabod and Abbie
working alongside Brennan and Booth.”
And Bones EP Michael Peterson added: “The Bones-Sleepy Hollow crossover is like a great episode of The X-Files, where the Bones hour is the Scully,
logic-based perspective and the Sleepy Hollow hour is more Fox Mulder-esque. Put them together, and it’s going
to be a great two-hour event that fans of both programs are going to love.”
Well, Campbell and Peterson are right, the two shows, though
different genres do have many similarities. Moreover, the crossover raises some
questions, such as:
How well will Ichabod hide his true identity from the Bones
team?
What would Brennan and Booth’s reactions be if they were
transported to 18th century Sleepy Hollow?
Hey! It could happen. After all, Ichabod has proven that time
has no hold on reality.
Excited? I am.
The Bones and Sleepy Hollow season premieres begins
Thursday, October 1, 2015 on Fox at 8pm and 9pm.
