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?
I’m a sleepy hollow fan from Norway and Yeah, I think it should have been renewed.
Haven’t watched since they lamely killed off Abbie.
Please bring the show back> It is a good show. Put on another network but please bring it back!
You guys are stupid. Sleepy hollow was a great show and just because the ratings go down doesn’t mean cancel the damn show rating go up and down all the time. Deal with it
I enjoyed Sleepy Hollow along with my sister and several other friends. We would discuss it while the show was on and we were sure that Abby would be coming back somehow. We are saddened to hear that it has been cancelled.
This is a fabulous show that in my opinion grew much more substance in season three. They should recast Abby if Nicole doesn’t want to play the part and change it to another network. THEY COULD DO CAMEO’S FOR HER.
Internationally it had millions more viewers. It should have never been put on Friday. Move it to another channel please GREAT SUBSTANCE OF HISTORY, MYSTERY, BATTLE OF GOOD AND EVIL, AND DRAMA-ACTION SUSPENSE!
I REALLY LOVED THIS SHOW,PLEASE BRING IT BACK
yeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss sleepy hollow send to syfy and abbie is back season 5 with other 16 eposodes yes
Crap! Losing Sleepy Hollow and Grimm in the same season? Cruel! I agree, move it to SciFi Channel.
They need to send this show to SyFy where it will perform better than on Fox. Plus they way the networks measure viewership is archaic and needs to be refined to the 21st century. People now have many avenues to watch a show (i.e. Netflix, Hulu, On Demand etc) and they do not take that into consideration.
yes indeed
Yeah, I think it should have been renewed.
Bring back season 5! Let it be the series finale where Ichabod Crane can be laid to rest
Tom made his character great, and John Noble is amazing in whatever he does (and I still have a soft spot for Walter). I would have loved to see more stories with the original cast and location … but the sad truth is that they jumped the shark when they left Sleepy Hollow and the original story arc was completed. They never really found their feet after that. I’ll miss the show, and hope that some sort of cameo could happen on a series like Supernatural, but that final scene by the lake felt properly final in terms of the… Read more »
I want Sleepy Hollow to continue. I love the history and I love the Ichabod Crane character. Tom Mison is a great actor. There is humor and suspense! Please renew it!!!!
I would like to have a 5th season. I’m a big fan and will miss it very much.
