Before 'Sleepy Hollow' Season 3, Nicole Beharie's Abbie Mills Poses In 'Playboy' Magazine!

Fox has plans underway for the upcoming Season 3 of Sleepy Hollow. Before the highly anticipated premiere, actress Nicole Beharie, who plays the unforgettable Abbie Mills, shows how sexy and strong she is in the must-read October issue of Playboy Magazine.

After dying in the midst of battle during the Revolutionary War, solider Ichabod (Mison) awakes in the present-day Sleepy Hollow, New York. His sudden resurrection is connected to the reappearance of the Headless Horseman, who happens to be one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. To prevent the end of the world, Crane teams up with Mills (Beharie) to stop the Horseman's evil reign of terror.

As we previously mentioned, Lane Gross (Crisis) has landed the romantic interest role as Daniel Reynolds, the FBI special agent in charge. As Abbie's (Beharie) new boss. Reynolds intends on making a name for himself at the bureau with his tenacity and political savviness. His first assignment in Sleepy Hollow will eventually reunite him with Abbie.

According to the official Playboy website, the stunning 42 actress will be featured in the magazine's October issue, entitled "Becoming Attraction." Beharie appears in the sexy and safe-for-work (non-nude) photo shoot in the magazine. Along with with the eye-catching imagery, there is a behind-the-scene video starring the Sleepy Hollow beauty.

In the interview with Playboy, Behave discusses what she looks for in a role, ""I'm interested in showing every side of being a woman. Whether my character is a vixen or strong and sultry, it's my goal to shake things up."
