(EW.com) -- "Sleepy Hollow" wrapped up its freshman season Monday night with a finale packed full of major twists and a whopper of a cliffhanger that left pretty much every major character in a terrible, life-threatening position. (Head thee to EW's "Sleepy Hollow" recap for all the details.) With Ichabod (Tom Mison) buried six feet under (while still alive), Abbie (Nicole Beharie) trapped in Purgatory, and Katrina (Katia Winter) kidnapped by the headless horseman, executive producer Mark Goffman had a lot to answer for when we called him up after viewing the heart-stopping episode. Luckily Goffman, who penned the extraordinary second hour with fellow EP Alex Kurtzman, was more than happy to break it all down for us — and give us some early scoop on season 2!

So, Tom and @placeholder ,we brought them into the writers room, and they've been incredibly generous with sharing the things they love about the show and their characters with us.
One of the big goals, which goes along with the idea of war in @placeholder, is that we need to populate the town more.
