TV crossover events have seen plenty of ups and downs over the years. For every "Crisis on Infinite Earths" or "Scoobynatural," television studios typically make half a dozen misguided cash-ins in a desperate attempt to expand each show's unique viewing audience. So, where does that leave the often-forgotten conversion between one of Fox's most beloved procedural series, Bones, and one of their most forgotten, Sleepy Hollow?

"SleepyBones," as some fans took to calling it, saw forensic anthropologist Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and her longtime FBI partner Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) team up with the no-nonsense FBI agent Abbie Mills (Nicole Berharie) and her 18th Century time-traveling partner, Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison), to investigate a crime that only their combined might can potentially solve. This unexpected collaboration was a shock to fans of both Bones and Sleepy Hollow, and it ultimately resulted in one of the strangest — and most underappreciated — crossover episodes in TV history.

Call of Duty and One Life to Live actor Kamar De Los Reyes is being remembered by Hollywood following news of the actor’s death on Christmas Eve at 56 following a cancer diagnosis.

Reyes’ death was confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter on Monday by a family spokesperson. The late actor shared two children with his wife and fellow performer Sherri Saum, who co-starred with Reyes on ABC’s long-running soap One Life to Live.

The Locke & Key and The Fosters star posted a tribute to her late husband and fellow actor on Tuesday on her Instagram, writing “Of The Kings.”

A&e canceled The Glades after its fourth season, leaving the storyline unresolved and frustrating viewers. The planned fifth season would have focused on investigating Jim's shooting, with twists and suspects to keep viewers engaged. While the chances of a revival are slim, there is still hope for The Glades to return after a long hiatus, as other shows have done.

The fourth season of A&e’s crime drama may have ended on a cliffhanger in 2013, but The Glades season 5 isn’t likely. The Glades focused on Chicago cop Jim Longworth (Jigsaw’s Matt Passmore), who leaves the Windy City after being wrongfully accused of having an affair with his boss’s wife and takes a job as a detective with the state police in the sleepy Florida Everglades town of Palm Glade. Although Jim is expecting a slower pace of life, he soon finds out there’s more criminal...

The set of Fox’s Sleepy Hollow had “grueling” working conditions, confusion and “creative floundering” among its leadership, and disparate treatment between its white male and Black female lead, according to Burn It Down.

The Hollywood exposé from Maureen Ryan, published by HarperCollins and which hit shelves on Tuesday, alleges that Nicole Beharie and Tom Mison — who played detective Abbie Mills and Ichabod Crane, respectively — “did not want to have a whole lot to do with each other,” according to one source who worked on the show, allegedly resulting in Mison’s character’s famous “courtly” bow, because the co-stars did not want to hug each other.

That also allegedly translated to their onscreen narratives, according to showrunner Clifton Campbell, who told Ryan that Mison and Beharie “believed that the relationship between the characters should not evolve into a romantic relationship,” despite fan calls for one. (Neither Beharie nor Mison commented for the book.

Women’s Weekend Film Challenge (Wwfc) is launching a pilot accelerator program for writers to pitch female-centric content.

The program, which will see emerging TV writers pitching beginning in October of this year, was designed to help such writers advance their careers, as well as to increase the representation of women non-binary people working in television.

“So many members of our community have pilot scripts ready to go but no one to pitch to,” Wwfc co-founder Tracy Sayre said in a statement. “This gap became especially apparent over the last year as we’ve hosted weekly virtual workshops; far and away, the most popular events have centered around how to pitch and how to break into the writers room. This accelerator is a natural response to the career goals of our community.”

Wwfc is accepting applications for the accelerator on FilmFreeway from June 17 to July 21, 2021. The program will take place virtually.

Renewing the supernatural drama for a fourth season without co-lead Nicole Beharie, whose Abbie was killed off in the April finale, “was obviously a very hard conversation.

Spoilers! Season three of Fox's Sleepy Hollow TV series went out with a bang. In the penultimate third season episode, the show killed off the late Sheriff's son, Joe Corbin (Zach Appelman). Sleepy Hollow has survived the departure of other heavily featured actors including Orlando Jones, John Noble, and Katia Winter. Friday's third season finale death was a game changer, though. Nicole Beharie's Lieutenant Abbie Mills, who, along with Tom Mison's Ichabod Crane, is one of the two main characters, sacrificed her life to stop the Hidden One.

The “Bones”-“Sleepy Hollow” Halloween crossover set to air Thursday night was all Fox’s idea. But executive producers for the two-hour programming event are pretty pleased with how it turned out. Still, Clifton Campbell and Jonathan Collier had a bit of apprehension when the directive came down from on-high. “Why would they open up their door to this supernatural element?” the “Sleepy” showrunner Campbell told TheWrap of his Thursday primetime partner’s reason to be hesitant. After all, he added, the two shows “are literally the opposite of each other.” Also Read: 'Sleepy Hollow' Showrunner Exits Show,...

"We have this bubble that we've created within Sleepy Hollow. There's so much supernatural and the unexplained going on around the police procedural aspect of our show ... we don't want to open that door up to the rest of the world." That's what Executive Producer Clifton Campbell told BuddyTV. But isn't that what's exactly what will happen if Bones creeps into Abbie and Crane's world? 

If you are a Sleepy Head, you may be freaking out a bit as the date of the crossover looms, but have no fear, your universe and it's mythology are pretty safe, but, (Holy Headless Horseman!) it is a close call with the Bones muggles poking around and shooting holes in things on Sleepy Hollow. Regardless, let's have some fun with it. Here are five teases from "Dead Men Tell No Tales" to divert your sleepy attention while you wait for the event to roll around.

Well, they've done it, and they've done it very well. Such is the opinion of executive producers Jonathan Collier of Bones and Clifton Campbell of Sleepy Hollow. Much more importantly, such is also the opinion of the press who have gotten to see the two-hour Halloween crossover event in advance. "The Resurrection in the Remains" and "Dead Men Tell No Tales" air October 29.  

Who would have ever thought two such disparate universes could intertwine without threatening the integrity of the individual mythologies? How did they do it, and what were the logistical challenges? Would they ever attempt it again? These were the questions on everyone's minds when we talked with the team of executive producers one week before the Bones/Sleepy Hollow crossover debuts.

Two of Fox's hit shows, Bones and Sleepy Hollow, will crossover with a two-hour event on Thursday, October 29, just in time for Halloween. To get fans ready for this crossover, Fox has released a new trailer, showing what happens when Booth (David Boreanaz) and Bones (Emily Deschanel) interact with Sleepy Hollow's Abbie (Nicole Beharie) and Crane (Tom Mison). The trailer teases a "history-making" discovery, but you'll have to wait until Thursday night to find out what it is.

There’ll be no more Headless Horseman action in Sleepy Hollow. He's been axed as season 3 pushes ahead with ‘a new framework’…

Here’s an interesting one – the powers-that-be have decided to chop the Headless Horseman from the roster in Sleepy Hollow. His epic battle with Ichabod Crane was wrapped up in season 2, and apparently won’t be showing his face (er, stump) again.
