THE LAST KINGDOM: BBC AMERICA Sets Premiere Date, Teases the Series

THE LAST KINGDOM — based off the Bernard Cornwell book series, “The Saxon Stories” — will debut on Saturday, October 10th at 10 PM, BBC America announced.

Here’s what the network had to say about the new show…

“Eleven-year-old Uhtred was born a Saxon in 9^th century Northumbria. He watches from a cliff top as invading Danish ships move toward his home, not knowing that his future will soon be turned upside-down. Young Uhtred witnesses his father killed and the Saxon army defeated. That same day he is taken by the Danish warlord, Earl Ragnar. His fellow captive is a feisty, sharp-tongued girl named Brida. The orphans are brought up in the Danish camp. Fast forward and the two have formed a close personal bond as kindred spirits and lovers.

SLEEPY HOLLOW Season 2: Nicole Beharie on Finding Abbie’s Strength, Mills Family Insight, New Monsters, and More

We’re just days away from SLEEPY HOLLOW’s season 2 premiere, and now that the show has laid its groundwork for the delightful insanity that’s ahead, the writers and actors have the opportunity to dig deeper into the characters we’ve grown to love.

Case in point: Abbie Mills.

Viewers learned a bit about Abbie last season (she’s a witness, she has a complicated relationship with her sister, etc.), but this year, we’ll learn a lot more about her and her history. (Thanks in part to the addition of her mother.)

I sat down with SLEEPY HOLLOW star Nicole Beharie (Abbie) to talk about exploring Abbie (and her relationships) more thoroughly, finding Abbie’s strength, the show’s fun craziness, and more…

SLEEPY HOLLOW: Nicole Beharie on the Incredible Fan Response: ‘That’s Been the Thing That I Didn’t See Coming’

SLEEPY HOLLOW was been filled with shocks in its first season, but for series star Nicole Beharie (Abbie), she admitted the fan reaction to the show  — and her character — was the thing she didn’t see coming.

In the video below, Beharie acknowledged that with some of the movies she’s worked on in the past, there was an obvious attempt to make the audience feel something, but with this project, she didn’t see it at first…”but it’s managing to do that.”

Check out what she had to say about that, and why she thinks the SLEEPYHEADS — AKA the members of the SLEEPY HOLLOW fandom — are “so gorgeous and so kind”…

SLEEPY HOLLOW Season 2: Tom Mison, Nicole Beharie, Mark Goffman, and Len Wiseman Tease Abbie and Ichabod’s Reunion

When SLEEPY HOLLOW’s first season concluded, every character was put in a pretty terrible position, and as showrunner Mark Goffman pointed out at the time, “These are the worst of situations to find themselves in, and they’re all separated.”

But the characters — especially Abbie and Ichabod — can’t stay separated forever. And since production of SLEEPY HOLLOW’s second season is underway right now, at Monday night’s FYC event, I asked series stars Tom Mison (Ichabod) and Nicole Beharie (Abbie), and executive producers Goffman and Len Wiseman what they could tease about Abbie and Ichabod’s eventual reunion…

SLEEPY HOLLOW’s Nicole Beharie: I Know Abbie’s Ready to Fight in Season 2

SLEEPY HOLLOW left Abbie in arguably the most vulnerable spot she’s ever been in — both literally and figuratively — and while series star Nicole Beharie (Abbie) allowed that her character “may be losing her mind” in purgatory, she was also firm that Abbie would be ready to fight.

Check out what Beharie had to say before the SLEEPY HOLLOW PaleyFest panel about Abbie’s changes, and how the reveal of Jeremy’s paternity will impact her…
