“Sleepy Hollow” returns to Bellevue Cemetery this week, with filming expected to impact traffic on nearby roads Thursday afternoon and evening.
A permit filed with the City of Wilmington calls for intermittent traffic control on Princess Place Drive between 16th and 18th streets, and on 17th Street between Chestnut and Rankin, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5, and from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. Friday, Dec. 6. (See map below)
Full street closures are not scheduled in the permit, and traffic control will not be conducted during rush-hour traffic—specified in the permit as between 4:30 and 6 p.m. Thursday.
The traffic control will allow for filming at the cemetery, scheduled from 11 a.m. Thursday to 7 a.m. Friday.
A scene description included in the permit states: “Characters discover a grave and are attacked.” The permit also emphasizes in bold that scenes will include prop gunfire and stunts.
Five cast members and four extras will join as many as 100 crew members on set, the permit states. Four police officers will also be on scene with patrol cars.
The cemetery, located at 1701 Princess Place Drive, was the setting for a night shoot earlier this year and has been featured in the series along with other local landmarks, such as Greenfield Lake and the New Hanover County Historic Courthouse, which serves as a police station in the show.
“Sleepy Hollow” airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on Fox.
