Will there be a fifth season of Sleepy Hollow? Recently, executive producer Raven Metzner spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the future of the FOX TV series.
The supernatural drama follows Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison), a patriot who was killed 230 years ago. The cast also includes Janina Gavankar, Lyndie Greenwood, Jerry MacKinnon, Rachel Melvin, Oona Yaffe, Jeremy Davies, and John Noble. Season four wrapped up on March 31st.
After killing off one of its lead characters last season, Sleepy Hollow took a major dive in the ratings. Season four earned a .50 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 1.918 million viewers, making it FOX’s lowest-rated series for the 2016-2017 season.
Speaking to EW, Metzner said he hopes the show will continue but is prepared if FOX cancels Sleepy Hollow:
I think there are many, many, many stories yet to be told. But if not, I hope that everyone knows that Crane is in a really good place. The moment he has with Diana where they’re walking toward us with this determined step — I hope that fans take that with them as a positive moment that either will be built on or is a great place to leave the series.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Sleepy Hollow? Do you think FOX should renew the series?
MY HUSBAND AND I LOVED THIS SERIES!!!!! so we limited to ridiculous reality shows now 🙁 loved the intertwined history and religion! Please please bring it back!
I think that if they made a mistake in killing off one of the main characters then just bring her back. With a show like this anything is possible. So tired of the whole drama thing on tv. This show is a nice change of pace. Please make a 5th season.
Renew for 5th and future seasons!!
Great show with interesting tidbits of history thrown in as we are entertained. As an educator I would hope that most Americans know our history and can tell facts from fiction.
This is one of the few supernatural shows to include historical information. Kudos to the writers! Love the acting as well!
Please do not cancel the show.
So sad to see it end. From the 1st episode I was hooked! I thought, “What a cool way to teach our countries history!! Tell the stories with monsters!!!” Add a gorgeous brit to the mix and there you go! Sure it was a little far fetched and out there at times, but so what! After Abby died though in the season 1 finale I was set. Her character played an important role and she should of never been cut. After that it kind of went to crap! Don’t get wrong, I loved season 2, but it felt like there… Read more »
The whole 4th season stank. Glad to see it go. They should never have killed off the lieutenant in season 3.
My heart is broken…
I think the story needs to finish and not just end like it did. Love the characters this past year. Please consider another season, even on a different channel. So little decent to watch on television
And now that Jeremy Davies is gone the show can only get better
Please keep the series Sleepy Hollow. There aren’t very many shows of this nature and myself and the kids enjoy watching it every week
All TV shows and their RATINGS HAVE THEIR UP’S AND DOWNS, unfortunately this is one that is down right now but does not mean it will not go up, THIS IS A FABULOUS SHOW , WITH GOOD CHARACTER AND GOOD WRITING. ….. I THINK THIS SHOW SHOULD CONTINUE, not because I am a loyal fan but but because the show has good plots , good arcs and the show leaves you in suspense the writers have done a wonderful job with their episodes , also on a personal note, I think if Fox drops Sleepy Hollow they will do an… Read more »
I have been watching Sleepy Hollow since it’s pilot days and I feel it would be a great injustice if it were not to continue. I could think of many other shows that could take the place of discontinuing. I think the cast is brilliant and Tom Miser portrays the character of Ichabod Crane brilliantly. The rest of the cast are also excellent actors. The shows story line is great and it places you at the edge of your seat. I am not a younger man so to keep my attention I would say is an incredible thing. Please don’t… Read more »
I love the show and felt that season 4 was a big improvement over three to be honest. I missed Abby but moved on a long time ago. I would love to see the show continue. Tom Mison is just genius in this role and I think if they would just try it on another night with a better lead in then others might watch too. That being said there are other shows on Friday night that do very well and have been on for years such as Blue Bloods and Hawaii Five-O. I sure hope it gets renewed. It… Read more »
Renew for 2017!!
Although Abby is missed, I think all the new characters more than make up for her loss, and have given the series a new lease of life. I think it was in danger of stagnating had it carried on as it was. It’s a pity the ratings have slipped, because I feel that series 4 is the best yet, with the new additions to the cast and more humour, which is a plus in my book.
