Sossamon currently stars in M Night Shyamalan's Wayward Pines, and has had roles in the past on Mistresses and How to Make It in America.

She becomes the latest cast addition for Sleepy Hollow's upcoming third season, after Nikki Reed joined as Betsy Ross, the famous spy who sewed the very first American flag during the Revolutionary War.

Sleepy Hollow is also lined up for a Fox crossover with Bones for next spring.

The fantasy series will return in the US on October 1.
