SLEEPY HOLLOW: Meet Abbie and Jenny’s Mother!

SLEEPY HOLLOW has cast Abbie and Jenny’s mother: a rep for the show has confirmed that Aunjanue Ellis (THE MENTALIST, E-RING) will guest star as Lori Mills. EW first reported the casting.

And while Ellis will portray the deceased Mama Mills for “multiple episodes,” that won’t be the first time viewers get a taste of the family dynamic.

“You may see [their] mom in the first episode back,” SLEEPY HOLLOW executive producer Heather Kadin teased last month. “Although you see her, you don’t see her.”

It’ll also be interesting to see how Lori pops up when she does show up in the flesh — will it be flashbacks? Nightmares/dreams? Some other supernatural-y explanation? (After all, death has never stopped a character from appearing on this show.) Or, perhaps, is she not actually dead?

Ellis is set to first appear midseason.

Are you excited to see what the Mills family dynamic is like?

SLEEPY HOLLOW returns Monday, September 22nd at 9 PM on Fox.
