Telly’s Take
This FOX series started as a hit but the ratings fell pretty quickly and they have continued to fall each year. After season three’s dismal ratings, some wondered if Sleepy Hollow’s numbers could go any lower. Well, they have. At the end of season four, there will be 62 episodes. That’s not enough episodes for a regular syndication package but it’s hard to imagine that FOX will order a fifth season. 5/9 update: FOX has cancelled Sleepy Hollow. Details here.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Sleepy Hollow TV show would be renewed for a fifth season?
This show was so different from anything on TV. Crane’s character is top notch. I loved it. Even after Abby died. I would love to see it come back. What I hate is shows cancelled and not really allowed to wrap up loose ends. So if you must end a show give the loyal fans an abbreviated season and tie up those loose ends. Don’t do a season finale and then nothing ever again!! Bring back Sleepy Hollow.
The 1st 3 seasons were awesome. Losing Nicole hurt but season 4 was better than anticipated. The new characters added to Crane’s abilities. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE BRING BACK SLEEPY HOLLOW!!!!
Fox. Stupidest network EVER.
Please bring this show back…I know ratings mean a lot but this is a great show…
if people would just sit and watch the show they might learn a few things..Just please leave it on the air
Please renew!! Keep this show going!!! Its one of my favorite shows! I even have a good story for season 5. Two grave robbers accidentally free An undead sorcerer from the Dark Ages from his imprisonment who tries to conquer Sleepy Hollow He traveled through time using his magical mechanical pocket watch, and with his magical spell book, he was able to summon extinct or mythical creatures 🙂
Is a perfect story but in the season 5 the bad man will be the devil and then this please maybe fox will change opinion and cancel the cancelation of sleepy hollow and renewed it for season 5 please answer me
sleepy hollow is one of the best TV shows I watch and for the loss of one character doesn’t mean it should stop for Abby’s presence are replaced by Agent Thomas
Yeah, some ‘replacement’. She only lasted one season before the show got binned.
Please renew!! I admit after losing Abbie I was worried. But this season was great!! Being in DC changed it up and adding a new team was great. Keep this show going!!! Its one of my favorite shows!
I hope sleepy hollow continues to play on fox it is a great show full of mystery and excitement
I thought this last season was good. It has a plot that held your attention with good characters. Keeping my fingers crossed that it’s not the end for our heroes.!!!
I love the show. I love that they brought Robbie Kay in to play a bad guy,he is so good at it. I love the show completely. I would be devastated with the show got canceled my whole family enjoys it, we all love the laughable moments.
One of the better shows on TV. I have watched since the beginning. Too many trashy shows have been put on. Love Sleepy Hollow!!! Please renew!!!
Agree 100% – let’s have Crane find happiness and a really good life.
I absolutely love Sleepy Hollow. Please keep it going. It’s unique, like Star Trek was in the 60s.
I LOVE Sleepy Hollow!!!! I’ve been catching up on it for the past 2 months. Pleeeeeaaaase don’t cancel the show. I’ve gotten my family hooked on it too!
Same here! I love Sleepy Hollow with a passion! I cried when Katrina died, had no care for Henry, but cried my eyeblass out when Abby was gone. Don’t cancel the best show ever!
Bring Abbie mills back. If it is money, give it to her. By now the world has gotten over the color barrier. Bring Katrina back. Isn’t that what we are used to. Bring them back alive and save the show. YEAH?
What’s not to like – history, supernatural, action. I enjoy watching it with my kids and am hoping it returns!
Some of the history is inaccurate, such as the premise of no Goddesses in American history. Look up in Google images the Goddess Hekate, and you will find the Statue of Liberty. Selena Fox, whose activism brought the use of the Pentagram for Gravestones for Pagan men fallen in battle under President Bush, has all the Goddesses documented in a formal teaching. I’m sure the shows reporting of misinformation was to court the hard right ratings, but it is inaccurate.

With Grim ended we need Sleepy Hollow! It’s the only new entertaining fantasy/supernatural show in 12 years.
And Tom Misson needs to be on TV!
