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?
I hope they do not cancel this series love it.
I would have to say that there have been many brilliant shows that got chopped because the ratings were not there. I have been a huge fan since day one of Sleepy Hollow. There was definitely a hole left when Nicole Beharie’s character died. But I think the writers did an outstanding job in creating a new story line, yet still reminiscent of the stories of the first 3 seasons. And of course the cast both new and old delivered 100 fold. As far as I’m concerned Tom Mison could recite the phone book and win an Academy Award. He… Read more »
I love this show! Being from the area its about just makes it all the better>
I have been watching the show since its inception. Excellent premise, close to historical accuracy to make it fun. Icabod and Jenny have been amazing to follow. Well thought out scripts. Dreyfus is an odd character, hard to relate to or connect with. Love the show, please don’t cancel it. Just change the major “bad guy” to something that connects to history. Not some random bad guy. Tom Mison and his new crew are excellent!!
This is my favorite show on Fox. I’ve watched it since the first episode. The move to Washington, DC, was a great idea. This entire season has been full of great ideas and terrific answers to any and all questions that have come up. With Lana as an older Witness…that surprise came at the perfect moment…there are now two adult witnesses. None of us want to be left hanging, not knowing what canning con gets Ichabod’s contract voided, or how great future-woman Lara does in her role as witness. Please do not cancel Sleepy Hollow. Even with its “twistory,” it… Read more »
Please being back Sleepy Hollow it was one of the only shows on TV that actually is worth watching anymore it actually is really good to watch stuff about our countries past !/
I love the show and will lose faith in fox if they cut it.
When I thought Fox had cancelled Sleep Hollow after the end of Season 3, I quit watching Fox. Imagine my surprise when I learned that it had done a Season 4 after all. I’ve been happily busy binge watching it on Hulu for the past 2 days. I absolutely love everything about the show and can’t wait for Season 5 to start. If the show has low ratings, it’s not the show’s fault but Fox’s. It really needs to do a better job marketing itself. Sleepy Hollow is a jewels I hope it never loses. I only wish Fox had… Read more »
John, I couldn’t have said this better. You are absolutely right on all counts. I sure do hope FOX reads these.
Sleepy Hollow needs a renewal. We love this show. It’s one of the smartest shows on regular tv. I hope it stays another season. I hope FOX does the smart thing and keeps Sleepy Hollow alive.
I have watched this show from the beginning and really enjoy it. I religiously record it every week. I really like the way it references historical figures and ties them to the story line. Please do not cancel it.
I am done with FOX if they cancel Sleepy Hollow. The show is well put together, great acting & FANTASTIC story line. If these networks stopped moving shows around on what night they play maybe you’d get a better pic of how the show has done overall; BUT ‘NO’ the executives keep moving them to different nights in order to justify canceling them. “STUPID” !
Ik vind Sleepy Hollow geweldig. In English, I find Sleepy Hollow amazing. Please give us a Season 5!
Please don’t cut Sleepy Hollow I’ve been watching it from the beginning and I love the show! I already lost 3 tv shows that I was watching and I’m getting upset that they keep cutting my tv shows, so please don’t cut Sleepy Hollow. Thank You, Marie K Shelton
Great show and characters, please back for Season 5. Don’t make the wrong decision FOX. Please renew!
I’ve watched from the beginning and love the show! Haven’t liked all of the choices made, but am still a loyal viewer. Please renew for Season 5!
Please, please, please do NOT cancel Sleepy Hollow. My hubby & myself have not missed an single episode since the show started. We love this show and find it very entertaining. And Tom Mison is such a remarkable actor to carry off the Crane character so well. I actually liked season 4 better than the other seasons and so look forward to his new ‘crew’ and where Season 5 will take them Please give SH a 5th season of entertainment for viewers to enjoy! I love Hawaii 5-0 but since it’s in competition with SH I had to give H… Read more »
