Will there be more seasons of Sleepy Hollow? Recently, FOX chief Gary Newman discussed the status of the TV series, Deadline reports.
The supernatural drama debuts its fourth season on January 6th after killing off one of its main characters at the end of season three. The cast includes Tom Mison, Janina Gavankar, Lyndie Greenwood, Jerry MacKinnon, Rachel Melvin, Oona Yaffe, Jeremy Davies, and John Noble.
At this week’s Television Critics Association press tour, Newman said he hopes the revamped version of the show will pick up more viewers:
We lost one of the core characters this year which required a real reset and it isn’t unexpected that some of the audience would have peeled off. But our hope is that with a really compelling storyline that they pitched to us that may bring people back to it. With a Friday night show, we expect a greater amount of delayed viewing than what you get on other nights of the week, and we thought there was an opportunity for word of mouth to build that show and over the course of the season to see delayed viewing bring that number up.”
Despite the show’s tough timeslot, he says FOX still loves the series:
Bringing a show out on Friday night is tough. We love the show, we think the storytelling has always been incredibly inventive, Art Ichabod is fantastic.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Sleepy Hollow? How are you liking the new season so far?
I love the show. Been a fan since the first episode. Character change can always slow a show but Now that the season is ending Im totally hooked again. Please keep the show on!
I have watched Sleepy Hallow on FOX21 since the show’s premier. It is the only reason I tune into this network! I find the show compelling, fun, and it has excellent writing and story development. But I am a sucker for the “team camaraderie” and the fact that the characters work so well together…even with the many changes to the cast. That is never easy, one assumes. The new Witness, “Molly” should be allowed an expansion of her character, and so should we know what happens with “Ms. Jenny”, “CRANE”…(OMG…so gorgeous), and the newest characters: “Diana”, “Master Jake”, and “Alex”… Read more »
Even though I do miss Abbie, I think the new season is doing good without her. it’s kind of like the rebirth of sleepy hollow. The show, in my opinion, is doing a great job without Abbie. it is still very compelling and as interesting as ever. I still absolutely love it and love it even more now
I was a fan. Abbie Mills was tenachious and made the show. A small dynamic woman. Why was she cut from the series? Too many charachters now.
I am a huge fan and was exstatic to see it return. I do wish we still had Abby.
Nicole Beharie said she chose to leave the show over “creative tension.” She recognized that season three was awful and season 4 is even worse without her. Her replacement has zero charisma.
I have no idea what ‘creative tension’ means in this case but I think the studios learned quite a while ago that these shows work because of an ensemble and losing one member does not mean the end . Criminal Minds is still fantastic and I believe the Sleepy Hollow can go one with ought Abbie.
“Shiva” is awesome don’t blaspheme lol!
I love sleepy hollow. The cast is out standing
It”s a great show. I look forward to more shows
Should never have been renewed.
People here seem to believe that the show chose to kill off Nicole Beharie when it was her choice to leave. That’s an important distinction to make, and as much as I liked her as Abbie, her absence was expected well before her actual departure from the series, so it’s not difficult to adjust to. I really like the new format and the new characters and eagerly anticipate watching this season and the show for as long as Fox and Tom Mison choose to make it.
You can have the show then Mike T. Nice you have something to like. She left for a good reason. Glad you’re happy with it. You wouldn’t understand why some people like me have a big problem with it.
IT IS “difficult” to “adjust”. For me and others…not you of course. Enjoy it while it last. God I hate this site…only come to check up on these shows.
Don’t matter if it’s on Friday or any other day. Those ratings are going down.
Fox may still love this show, but I and many others don’t….like that really matters. They could care less.
Sorry. Since Nicole Beharie “had” to leave, is show is just lame! Love Tom, but without Nicole, this show has no hope whatsoever ! And the new cast hardly compares to the old!
give the new people a chance. I like the show.
Maybe she doesn’t want to give them a chance.
Glad to see someone else on this “site” feels the same way. Tired of being constantly disappointed by TV/movies.
Art Ichabod? #confused
