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 this show why do they always cancel good shows
I absolutely loved this show! No, I was not happy they killed a main character but it recovered well. I’m losing too many of my shows!! stop it!
Oh no I look forward to this show. I want to cry. Sleepy Hollow is 1 of their best shows
I love this show i cried at the end of the season because i would have to wait until it came back on and now i just read that the show is being cancelled. Its not fare everytime a good show comes on it gets cancelled. Just bring it back.
Really liked this show, but I think Abby asked to leave. But leaving Sleepy Hollow & bringing in a kid as Crane’s partner was ridiculous. They could’ve passed the witness to her sister or brought NikkI Reed’s character into present day. Huge miss by writers. My sister & I are sad to see it go. Too bad it couldn’t be redeemed.
Nicole left the show because of the way she/her character was treated.
Sleepy Hollow was well crafted and the new characters were great. I was sadder losing Jenny’s love than I was about Katrina leaving. Abby was missed but the show did revolve around Ichabod. Hoping SYFY or TNT picks it up… it’s a one-of-a-kind show that can’t be replaced. FOX cancelled Firefly & look what happened. And I’m not sure why they brought back Prison Break. I still miss John Doe.
I agree with many comments. Mistake one, making our witchy wife evil, stupid mistake. two, Abby. of course, and then three, leaving Sleepy Hollow. The villains became cartoonish instead of genuinely scary. I was kind of embarrassed for Mison.
Killing Abby Mills off was the first mistake…loved season 1-3…..Didn’t care for the new casting. Ichabod Crane was Great w Abby. Writers tied their own Noose w/ this one.
Loved this show, was one of the few shows I actually like on TV… Really hope fox rethinks the cancellation or another channel like discovery or history pics the show up and keeps the dream alive. I can see where they hurt the ratings by killing off Abby but I feel like they were just getting settled in and figuring out where the new members positions were. RIP sleepy hollow, like all great shows…You had to be killed off too soon…
I think Fox should have renewed it. They could persuade Nicole Bahari to do a few recurring shows. Bringing back John Noble was a plus in my book
Will surely miss the show but it just was not the same with cranes partner gone. Bring her back and you will have a hit. The chemistry with those two was the show. Duh……what. We’re. You. Thinking!!!!!l
What did the writers think was going to happen after you kill off one of the main characters,. A big part of the shows success was the chemistry between Crane and Abbey! That was like killing off Captain on Star Trek.
The woman that played Abbey left on her own. She felt they weren’t utilizing her character well enough. So,the writers did the best they could with what they had, and I actually really liked it. It could’ve been salvaged. Fox just likes to give up on shows quickly… Just like NBC. Though I will say, they gave Sleepy Hollow more than its fair share of chances. Idk why the show never picked up. I loved it.
Abby chose to leave tgey could have recast or done cameo appearances. But the show is fabulous I thought season three really grew depth
such a shame this is another great show!!!with a talented cast that had more stories to tell .This is one of those shows that had everything ! horror, action ,adventure ,shock, comedy and edge of your seat suspense .I hope they rethink this and renew it
It should have been renewed. I am disappointed in FOX.
I HIGHLY AGREE WITH YOU MY FRIEND
My son and I loved watching the show. We were heart broken when Abby got killed off but still continued to watch. We loved the finale season more than the other ones. I feel like they should have given us at least one more season with the new girl. Loved it and hate they decided to cancel the show.
