Yahoo! TV has given us an inside look into the production of the new Fox series, Sleepy Hollow. Will fans lose their head over the dark new series?

Well, for starters, the show is being headed up by Len Wiseman, the man behind the Underworld franchise. Any of you who have seen Underworld know that a series like Sleepy Hollow is right up his alley.

Roberto Orci, who is behind such projects as most recent Star Trek franchise and the sci-fi TV series Fringe, is teaming up with Wiseman on Sleepy Hollow.

He feels that Len Wisemanâ€™s film experience will add a special touch to the series.

Heâ€™s a feature director. We try to treat every hour of TV like it’s a little movie. We wanted to have that quality, that scope, that sensibility, and weâ€™re lucky to be working with him again.”

Wiseman admits that there is indeed something special about this genre.

Itâ€™s the genre that I absolutely love. I really enjoy creating a world all to itself, and this is our chance to do a bit of that too.â€

In this series, you will find an interesting balance of comedy within the dark broodiness of the show.

I really want to have a just slightly odd flavor to it that doesnâ€™t feel completely real. Through its style and design and even the way its photographed, that you always feel that itâ€™s just slightly left of center and that itâ€™s moody, itâ€™s dark, but has a sense of humor about itself.â€ Wiseman said. â€œIt a wicked blend; I want people to have fun whilst being scared.â€

In this incantation of Sleepy Hollow we will see the legendary Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman battle it out in the modern day.

Ichabod Crane is awakened after 250 years when the Headless Horseman returns to Sleepy Hollow, completely unaware that he now resides in the 21st century.

The cast includes Tom Mison, who has made a name for himself in various British television shows like Lost in Austen and Paradeâ€™s End, as Ichabod Crane.

Richard Cetrone will be taking the reins of the Headless Horseman. Cetrone is a well-known stunt man whose acting credits include Man of Steel and the Underworld franchise.

Also joining the case will be Orlando Jones, who will portray Captain Frank Irving. You will also see John Cho taking on the role of Andy Dunn.

Nicole Beharie (American Violet) will be playing the role of Abbie Mills, the deputy charged with teaming with Ichabod to investigate the brutal beheadings that are taking place all over town.

I donâ€™t know about you, but I am thoroughly excited for this series to begin. It looks as if Wiseman has a unique vision for the legendary tale, and knowing his predilection for stunning visuals, I think Sleepy Hollow is going to be a wild ride worthy of losing your head over.

Sleepy Hollow will premiere on Monday, September 16thÂ at 9:00 p.m. ESTÂ on Fox.
