Fox's Sleepy Hollow, which ran from 2013, is being highlighted as an underrated supernatural mystery series that blends the history-heavy mythology of The X-Files with the dark fantasy tone of Grimm. The show reimagines Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle, combining them with American history and biblical prophecy for a modern network audience, and is being recommended to fans of both cult favourites who may have overlooked it.

The plot follows Revolutionary War soldier Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison), who kills his rival Abraham van Brunt (Neil Jackson) in battle before his grieving wife Katrina (Katia Winter) magically preserves him, causing him to wake up in the present day alongside a resurrected, headless van Brunt. With the help of Lieutenant Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie, who left before the final season), Crane must confront the Headless Horseman and other supernatural threats drawn to the town, in a series that lasted four seasons.
