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?
I have watched from season 1 and have stuck by this show even with all the character changes. They need to give it one more season at least to give this new cast a chance to properly finish this story…they can’t just leave it where it is. Ichabod has at least one more season left in his story, they just need to focus more on the original concept of witches and Hessians and evil demons, not gods and such. Its a good cast and they needed more episodes this season.
Sleepy Hollow is the only show I watch on Friday nights. Love the characters, love the stories.
I love sleepy hollow! There is nothing like it. Tim Mison is so funny and great looking. Please give us at least three more seasons.
Love the show! Please keep it going!!
I actually like the new setting and crew. I hope it gets another season
Love Sleepy Hollow!!!Please do not take this off the air!!! Many thanks
They SERIOUSLY need to renew Sleepy Hollow! I’ll be the first to admit I wasn’t sure how I’d feel and if I’d like it after Abby’s departure but I was very surprised!! I truly do like it and can’t wait to see what comes next! If they cancel it I’ll be very angry! So the right thing!!
Please renew Sleepy Hollow. This is one of my favorite series. I really liked the new characters that they added to the show.
Please save Sleepy Hollow!! It’s original, interesting, there is history and a sense of fun. The characters have grown and are finally getting a little of their own, they have become close friends you look forward to visiting with once a week, instead of crappy reality shows, and there is so much rich history and lore you can work with! Please keep the originality going, don’t become predictable or worse, end, this viewer is pleading, please
Please don’t take away my favorite show. I deserves to stay on the air. Tom Mison is a talented man that tells a story the way it makes you believe it. I am a true Sleepy Head. Save our show.
Please DON’T cancel it! I LOVE the show!!!!!!!!!!
Keep this wonderful show on the air! Love it!
I already lost ‘Grimm’, please don’t take my other fantasy program away. Although I don’t care for the bad guy, I like all the others and want to see what more the characters can do to keep the world safe from the evil doers. I look forward to seeing Tom Mison every week.
I believe that Sleepy Hallow should be renewed for a fifth season because it’s a great show I enjoy it all the time and it’s just for keeping.
Sleepy Hollow is so well worth renewing – great acting, story lines keep us guessing, and there is always a surprising ending with a cliff-hanger for the next episode! Remember that this season started really late – and had limited episodes. That certainly would account for loss of followers as much as the loss of Abby. For those who knew that “Abby” left voluntarily, it was a sad thing, but glad she could do what she wanted to do. THANK YOU in advance for Renewing Sleepy Hollow!
