Sleepy Hollow Is Losing a Fan Favorite Character in Season 3

If you were on the fence about returning for Season 3 of Fox's supernatural drama Sleepy Hollow, this next bit of news may be the deciding factor. According to Variety, Orlando Jones, who played fan favorite character Frank Irving during the show's first two seasons, will not be returning for Season 3. Variety did not give a reason for the actor's departure.

Irving isn't the only one not returning, though. Showrunner Mark Goffman stepped down in March prior to the series' renewal. White Collar executive producer and The Glades creator Clifton Campbell will take over in Season 3.

With Jones out of the picture, that leaves just three series regulars: Nicole Beharie (Abbie Milles), Tom Mison (Ichabod Crane), and Lyndie Greenwood (Jenny Mills). Katia Winter and John Noble, who played Katrina Crane and Henry Parrish/Jeremy Crane, respectively, were both written out of the show at the end of Season 2.

Will you miss Jones? Do you think Sleepy Hollow can survive without Irving?
