The fate of Sleepy Hollow is no longer uncertain. Today, it was revealed that FOX has cancelled the TV show so there won’t be a fifth season.
The supernatural drama stars Tom Mison as Ichabod Crane, a Revolutionary War patriot who wakes up more than 200 years after his death. The cast also includes Janina Gavankar, Lyndie Greenwood, Jerry MacKinnon, Rachel Melvin, Oona Yaffe, Jeremy Davies, and John Noble.
The FOX show’s cancellation doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Sleepy Hollow has struggled for a few seasons now and last season, the series alienated many fans by killing off a main character. Season four saw the consequences of that decision in its very low ratings. The fourth season, which ended in March, averaged a 0.50 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 1.92 million viewers, making it FOX’s lowest-rated series for the 2016-2017 season.
What do you think? Do you watch Sleepy Hollow? Do you think it should have been cancelled? Renewed for season five?
Love the show and a good attempt was made to alter the story line. I think the worst hit was killing off Abby. It survived the next season, but when you kill that chemistry you are asking for failure.
Very very disappointed. This was one of the best series that has come around in a long time. I enjoyed every episode of every season. Tom Mison has perfected his craft and no doubt Sleepy Hollow was just the beginning of his career in the US. This man could read the phone book and win an Oscar. Of which I am sure there are many in his future. The rest of the cast was amazing as well and hope to see them in the future as well. Hard to say goodbye to such a creative and entertaining series. Thank goodness… Read more »
The ratings were awful. Its Cancellation didn’t surprise me at all. Most intelligent people saw this coming.
I am so very disappointed that ‘Sleepy Hollow’ has been cancelled!! It was the ONLY show I watched on FOX that I really liked. Ichabod, is the main character, not Abby! If FOX don’t bring back Sleepy Hollow I sure hope another channel does. I will boycott FOX all together for their cancellation of Sleepy Hollow! 🙁
While I LIKED Abbie, the main character was Ichabod. What I disagreed with was turning Ichabod’s wife, Katrina into a dark character. One more example of Hollywood bowing to the moral majority and making the Witch an evil character. What, no wart on her nose?? Sigh. Im not ready for Sleepy Hollow to go but who am I? Just one lonesome Witch.
I’m so very disappointed about the cancellation! I found seasons 2 and 3 quite boring, I was very sorry about Abby’s death but I gave the show another chance. Season 4 was great and much better than the previous two!! Fox is notorious for killing good TV series. Huge mistake guys, huge!!
I am glad Sleepy Hollow got canceled. It should NOT have even gotten a season 4. Abbie Mills took her fans with her and it showed in rock bottom season 4 ratings.
The best thing about this show was Crane’s smart, witty, and utterly charming character, uniquely crafted by the talented Mison. I will miss him. I hope Mison finds another avenue to showcase his genius soon.
I am saddened that we won’t be seeing his handsome face unless we watch the replays. Would love to find a man with all those charms of Crane’s character.
I really love watching Sleepy Hollow right from the beginning but this last season was a little slow and weird. I didn’t like that they moved to Washington DC it is Sleepy Hollow. I will really miss this show and watching the great actor Tom (the real reason I watch). It would be great if someone else picks this up and takes it back to a great direction.
I felt that the show ran it’s course. The last season was a good attempt to continue the story line but it no longer felt fresh. Nothing lasts forever and it’s better to remember how good the 1st season was than to try to continue to squeeze blood out of a stone.
I was not happy that Abby was killed off. I love Sleepy Hollow. I thought it was interesting and well acted. Tom Mison is a wonderful actor and I enjoy watching and listening to him. It was well written. I wanted to see where next season would take us on Ichabod’s journey.
NOOOOOOOOOO! I love Sleepy Hollow! Tom Mison is AWESOME! Bring it back …. PLEASE!!!!
we must tell him not to cancel it maybe there is possibility please help us and answer PLEASE AMSWER
I wish someone would bring it back. Love that show
Another decent show bites the dust,probably be replaced with yet more reality TV crap.
I thought it was getting better, I hated it when they got rid of Abby but I thought this last season was starting to get it’s footing and get better. I agree with Pamela, get rid of that archaic 18-149 viewers!!!!
I think they need to get rid of that archaic 18-49 viewers. Those ages don’t even watch 14th anymore, they are fixated on their phones. Those over 49 lose all the good shows and left with reality tv. Will miss this show.
