Nikki Reed to Play Historical Icon Betsy Ross on 'Sleepy Hollow'

Nikki Reed is set to become a series regular on Fox’s Sleepy Hollow in the role of historical figure Betsy Ross!

THR describes the character as “sexy with an unsuspecting physical prowess.” Betsy is the famous figure known for sewing America’s very first flag, but she’s also a “dynamic colonial insider” and an operative within a secret ring of George Washington’s spies.

“We are all very excited to welcome Nikki Reed into the world of Sleepy Hollow,” co-creator/EP Len Wiseman said. “Nikki’s the perfect choice to bring a smart and sexy edge to our show’s twisted version of American icon, Betsy Ross.”
