Nikki Reed to Play Betsy Ross on Fox's "Sleepy Hollow" (Exclusive)
July 15, 2015
by Lesley Goldberg

Reed is ready to get her historical groove on.

The Twilight and Thirteen alum has landed the key series regular role of Betsy Ross on the upcoming third season of Fox's "Sleepy Hollow", The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

"Sleepy Hollow's" Ross is described as sexy with an unsuspecting physical prowess. She's the famous seamstress known and loved for sewing the nation's first flag by day, but by night she's a dynamic colonial insider, a secret operative within George Washington's mysterious ring of spies.

"We are all very excited to welcome Nikki Reed into the world of Sleepy Hollow," co-creator/EP Len Wiseman told THR. "Nikki's the perfect choice to bring a smart and sexy edge to our show's twisted version of American icon, Betsy Ross."

I always thought of Betsy Ross as grand-motherly.

First Photos of Nikki Reed as Betsy Ross

Somehow we think she’s going to do a lot more than sew.

Here are the first two photos of "Sleepy Hollow’s" version of original American flagmaker Betsy Ross as played by Nikki Reed.

In season 3 of Fox’s historical fantasy, Ross is the only female member of George Washington’s “Culper Ring” of spies, and her 13-star flag has supernatural properties which will help Crane (Tom Mison) and Abbie (Nicole Beharie) throughout the season.

Since Reed has equestrian skills in real life (last year she adopted a horse with husband Ian Somerhalder), "Hollow" will also take advantage of that (luckily for Crane and Co., producers will keep the show’s other rider — the Headless Horseman — in the stable this season).
