SPOILER ALERT – Do not continue reading if you haven’t yet watched Sleepy Hollow!

The season three finale of FOX’s Sleepy Hollow issued a major plot twist to viewers by killing off one of the show’s main characters.

Sleepy Hollow star Nicole Beharie, who plays Abbie Mills, was shockingly killed off in a moment of sacrifice to bring down villain Pandora.

“The [season] finale featuring the tragic death of Abbie Mills was a very dramatic ending and a bold move for the show, but Sleepy Hollow has always been known for its shocking finales. We feel we provided a wonderfully poignant conclusion for Abbie and showed some of the best moments between the Witnesses that we’ve seen on-screen. We thank Nicole Beharie for bringing Abbie and Sleepy Hollow to life. We are currently discussing season four, and should the series be picked up for another season, we have some exciting scenarios and new avenues we want to explore,” the producers and showrunner told THR.

The show is set to return for a fourth season, according to THR.
