CW has a me-too Sleepy Hollow project. Yeesh.
I don't see the point of doing this concept in the modern day. That's just
Supernatural/Grimm all over again. But a supernatural or even sci fi series in a historical (pre-1950s) setting would interest me.
Someone should dust off that
Poe pilot that ABC rejected a couple seasons back, cast an appropriate actor in the lead (someone like Michael Emerson) and give that a shot.
