Fans are not happy with the idea that "Sleepy Hollow" season 4 will no longer include Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie). However, there are reports saying that Abbie's fate will not be permanent.

Abbie is expected to turn up alive and well even after appearing dead following her selfless sacrifice that led to the defeat of Hidden One.

According to reports, "Sleepy Hollow" season 4 will see the triumphant comeback of Abbie seeing the trend in television shows that characters who "die" end up being alive or being resurrected.

Such was the case with "Game of Thrones" on HBO with Jon Snow's (Kit Harington) epic return. "The Blacklist" also played this card by having its main character Liz (Megan Boone) die and mourned only to turn up alive.

With "Sleepy Hollow" built on a premise that resurrection and returning from the dead isn't unprecedented, it is expected that Abbie will return in "Sleepy Hollow" season 4.

However, since there is no proof about that yet, fans are disappointed just thinking of the possibility that Abbie won't be in "Sleepy Hollow" season 4 and for the rest of the show's lifespan.

What the folks from the show have been saying, however, sound like Beharie isn't returning for "Sleepy Hollow" season 4. Her co-lead Tom Mison has been saying that it was a tough decision to kill off Abbie.

Assuming that Abbie is really dead in "Sleepy Hollow" season 4, is there a possibility of Beharie returning as a new character, the same technique that allowed Bitsie Tulloch to still be part of "Grimm" on NBC?

Save for Abbie's absence, "Sleepy Hollow" season 4 is expected to incorporate real-life events. Since Mison's character Ichabod is headed to Washington after meeting a secret society from the area, there might be politics involved in the new season.

"We are entering into one of the weirdest times in modern American history. To have Donald Trump running for president—that's weird," Mison told E! Online.

"And I think if we are going to be shooting in Washington we shouldn't hide from the fact that there has to be some dark underground force that is making this surreal turn of events happen," he added.

"Sleepy Hollow" season 4 premieres early next year on FOX.
