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 truly should have ended after Season 3. Many people keep saying that Nicole Beharie wanted out, so what could they do? Two things: 1. Not sideline her character unjustifiably in the first place S2 so that she became unhappy enough that she WANTED to leave and 2. Even if Nicole Beharie had to be written off, the demeaning WAY Abbie Mills exited was unnecessary and infuriating. Fans can accept that even lead characters are sometimes killed off. However, reducing Abbie’s role to her ONLY job being to “carry {Crane} forward”, after three seasons as a lead character was… Read more »
I vehemetly disagree.
I’ve really enjoyed the new DC season. I’ve been watching since Ep. 1 and love the show. The show went back to stories with the 4 horseman which is always intriguing from week-to-week. I hope they continue the show so i can look forward to it.
This show should’ve been cancelled after the third season ended, it’s been steadily going downhill since very early in the second season. Its only saving grace as things worsened was the chemistry between Abbie and Ichabod. When they killed her off, that killed the show as well which caused many former viewers like myself to leave. When it comes to great duos like them, one can’t survive without the other. It’s as simple as that. Abbie wasn’t the lead and neither was Ichabod, they were both the leads. Everyone knows the only reason why Fox kept this now severely lacking… Read more »
You are so completely wrong!
Not everyone “knows” what you think they do. A tv show that is free of cuss words words, sexual inuendos, that kids can watch wìth their parents is gold in MY opinion and apparently many others agree with me.
Please don’t cancel Sleepy Hollow!!! I have been watching it from day 1 and absolutely love it! The new characters are great and i thing will be great if we can see them again in season 5! Season 4 were very interesting and the new demonds are GREAT. Renew!
Last season was awful…but this season was GREAT! I like the move to D.C. Adult Molly (Laura) is kind of a bad a$$ and I think another season we could see that. Please, one more!
Please don’t cancel Sleepy Hollow!!! I have been watching it from day 1 and absolutely love it! Nicole’s character Abbie wasn’t the whole show, Tom Mison is actually the major part of the show, without him there would be no Sleepy Hollow, it revolves around him and his knowledge of the past. I like the new characters they have brought in as his new partners and I love that Lindy’s character Jenny is still on the show. Please, please don’t cancel it and please renew it for a season 5.
Renew! Renew! This season was almost as good as the first!
Please renew this show. It is a very clever written series with an excellent cast. There is a group of people like me that thrive on shows like this that ignite the imagination.
This show has run its course. Nicole Beharie was the heart and soul if the show. The ratings have suffered terribly without her. When she left the shows, millions of viewers left with her.
I have already suffered through the cancellation of my other favorite show: Grimm. I only have Sleepy Hollow left and if that’s taken off there will be nothing left on TV that I love. Besides, How can you even think of cancelling a great show that has Tom Mison as lead? He is a fresh new face and an incredible actor! Please, give this show a chance since everything has been revamped.
Love this show, much better this season.
Please don’t cancel Sleepy Hollow. Every time there is a good show someone cancels it for some dumb ass show. So please, please do not cancel Sleepy Hollow.
I love Sleepy Hollow and the Supernatural!!
I love the Cast members!!!
Please do not Cancel the show…..
I love love love this show! I love when Crane tells you history as “it really happened”! It’s cool to see how Washington was so into the supernatural! Lol! And Crane is hilarious in so many situations! Plus he’s “searing hot” too! Please keep keep keep this show!!! Put it in a better time slot whatever you have to do please?!!!!!
Please do not cancel this great show, we watch this all the way in Australia.
Tom Mison and the cast do an outstanding job, and I would love to see it survive another season.
