[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story <\/em>Season 1.]<\/strong><\/p>\n After 10 weeks, the saga of Headless<\/em><\/a> \u2014 the online collection from Shipwrecked Comedy<\/a> primarily based on the well-known Legend of Sleepy Hollow<\/em> story \u2014 has lastly come to an finish, with some tantalizing reveals within the type of plot twists, cliffhangers, and<\/em> particular shock visitor stars.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been better than we envisioned,\u201d creator Sean Persaud<\/a>, who helmed the collection along with his sister, Sinead, tells TV Insider of the reception to the collection since its premiere on August 29. \u201cWe worked really hard to sort of create this intricate story that kind of fit together and made sure that we planted clues and, you know, put stuff in there that people could get excited about and pick up on and people are responding to it really well. It\u2019s been even more positive than we thought it would be.\u201d<\/p>\n Nearly all of these clues arrange over the course of the collection paid off within the finale, which \u2014 spoiler alert!<\/strong> \u2014 dropped head-spinning reveals like love curiosity Kat Van Tassel (Mary Jane Wiles) truly being lifeless, her father Baltus Van Tassel (Jonathan Rubenstein) going to jail, and the identification of the Headless Horsemen being not a person, however a girl named Henrietta Hudson \u2014 as performed unexpectedly visitor star Felicia Day<\/a>, finest recognized for her work on The Guild<\/em> and Supernatural<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Shipwrecked Comedy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI wanted to channel a badass woman and be the most competent in the room, also stretch myself from who I usually play, more quirky and comedic characters,\u201d Day instructed us of Henrietta, who was the chief of a witch coven and subsequently killed by one other witch named Anneke Storms. \u201cI got great material to work with and had a blast pretending to know what I was doing!\u201d<\/p>\n The second shock visitor star got here within the type of Tom Lenk<\/a> (Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em><\/a>) who performed bard Jonathan Oldstyle. For each Lenk and Day (who run a joint podcast known as Undressing<\/em><\/a>), the chance to play in Shipwrecked\u2019s sandbox got here to them fairly simply \u2014 as did their resolution to say sure. \u201cI just was impressed because I know Sean from having we did some 30-minute musical shows together,\u201d Lenk stated, including that whereas he didn\u2019t know his good friend in \u201cthis capacity\u201d (in different phrases, as a director), he was blown away by the work and professionalism on set. Day, for her half, had been aware of Shipwrecked\u2019s work because of being a fan of Wiles and was \u201cthrilled to be able to be in a web series again after so many years away.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think the casting of Tom and Felicia are two of my favorite things that we did in the show,\u201d Persaud acknowledged, whereas additionally acknowledging that their involvement, a secret till immediately\u2019s episode drop, have been two of the toughest secrets and techniques to maintain. \u201cThe Horseman was a character that we mentioned a few times but we were unable to sort of establish visually, so we wanted to cast someone who had that power \u2014 you see that person, you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, this is a big deal.\u2019 And Felicia has that. She just carries that weight, especially with this sort of fandom.\u201d<\/p>\n Lenk\u2019s character, who fairly actually \u201cshows up out of nowhere\u201d along with his ukelele after the collection\u2019 authentic bard Diedrich Knickerbocker (Jon Cozart) dies, was one in every of Persaud\u2019s favourite moments within the finale. \u201cTom has such an indescribable comedic sensibility. He is just the way he is and the way he says things just makes me laugh so hard. And we knew he\u2019d be perfect for it. And it was like, once he showed up and started doing his thing, I was like, I can\u2019t believe we got away with this.\u201d<\/p>\n The collection ends \u2014 maybe surprisingly \u2014 on a cliffhanger the place Persaud\u2019s character, Ichabod Crane, opens his door and appears shocked to see somebody whose identification we don\u2019t get. \u201cI like things that leave us some question marks,\u201d he defined of the choice to go away the finale open-ended. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t always necessarily think that\u2019s like, oh, great, there\u2019s going to be a sequel to this movie. It\u2019s more of just like, send people out thinking about the future and what other stories there could be and people can fill in the blanks.\u201d<\/p>\n Shipwrecked Comedy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Still, the abrupt ending begs the query: Could we probably get extra Headless<\/em> tales sooner or later? While Persaud slyly shared that, sure, he does know the identification of the particular person on the opposite aspect of the door and \u201can idea of what that would mean for the characters and how that might inform a second season,\u201d for now, he\u2019s merely pleased with the story that his firm and his buddies have put into the world.<\/p>\n \u201cEverybody who is there really wanted to be there and really was invested in the project. And that\u2019s something that we\u2019re really proud of at Shipwrecked \u2014 creating a space where people are comfortable just coming and in doing their best work and it\u2019s sort of like a little family on set. And that\u2019s the reason why we get to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Tom](\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tom-lenk-headless.jpg\")
