This FOX TV show’s ratings have been quite low for awhile and, last season, Sleepy Hollow lost one of its core characters. How will this affect the ratings moving forward? Will the numbers improve or fall even lower? Will Sleepy Hollow be cancelled or will it be renewed for a fifth season to give the studio more episodes for a syndication package? Stay tuned.
A supernatural drama, Sleepy Hollow follows Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison), a patriot who was killed 230 years ago. In season four, Crane finds himself in the nation’s capital where he must forge unlikely partnerships in his quest to find the next Witness. Crane soon discovers that there is more evil at play than he realized was possible. The FOX cast also includes Janina Gavankar, Lyndie Greenwood, Jerry MacKinnon, Rachel Melvin, Oona Yaffe, Jeremy Davies, and John Noble. Kamar de los Reyes and Robbie Kay are expected to recur.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

What do you think? Do you like the Sleepy Hollow TV show on FOX? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season five instead?
A lot of fans were sucked in in S1 and held on through S3 but they hit their limit. They took a wonderfully quirky show and turned it into a massive cliche, ruining characters along the way. I tried with S4 but literally dropped out 20 min. into the season premier.
I hope Tom is fielding offers and goes on to have a great career but I can’t watch this show only for him.
Number of viewers at all time low. Show is beyond pathetic this season. You can see that Fox is so desperate to syndicate this lame show, it is just filling air time. Terrible waste!!!
I loved the first two seasons of SH but thought it was falling apart right around the first half of the third season. Then Abbie was killed off . I did watch the first two eps of the fourth season but found myself fast forwarding the third ep and then I just gave up. Too dull and tedious and it’s missing a fun factor…. I’m thinking it’s ichabod and Abbie’s chemistry that’s the missing factor.
Sleepy Hollow is incredibly hard to watch. Boring, boring, boring, and did I say boring. The plots are predicable and dumb. What a disgrace to waste air time with this trash. Can’t believe anyone would even consider a season 5, when season 4 is such a disaster. Season 4 was the worse decision ever made.
Sleepy Hollow is an excellent show. This season so far is better than I thought it would be after one of the main characters was killed off last season. I wonder how many of the show’s naysayers have watched it from the beginning. In the first 3 seasons, die-hard fans, like myself, have watched Icabod Crane adjust to 21st century quirks and technology without losing his 18th century charm. With all the cop shows on TV, this show is a breath of fresh air. I give the writers credit for the way they weave historical facts and characters into a… Read more »
Well you can have it Lisa I would never watch it again glad you are happy. don’t get used to seeing it longer. I bet you agree that ending Castle was a good idea since they’re leading lady was gone, but it’s okay on this show though
and I have watched it from the beginning until this season
Sleepy Horrible ratings. minus, minus, minus. How low can the rating go before they turn off the lights. Sad to see how wasteful this network is. How much money has been wasted on this stupid nonsense? Think if they had used the same money on a good show. Just goes to show that the executives at fox are clueless and worthless. Time for fox to do some major house cleaning. Hire some circus clowns, they couldn’t do any worse than the clowns running the network now!!
The new story line is great and necessary. We don’t want another ‘Charmed ‘
It is NO surprise that Sleepy Hollow’s season 4 ratings are dismal. Without Abbie Mills there is no show. I would NOT be surprised if the show is canceled before the season 4 finale…Sleepy Hollow is done, don’t look for a season 5.
someone feel the way I do since so many here don’t seem the same way
Yes please keep it going i really like how the story is always changing i never miss it please renew it
I’ve enjoyed Sleepy Hollow since the series premiere. It did get a little leggy in the beginning of season three but it closed appropriately. This current season is terrific. It has an invigorated storyline which I’m throughly enjoying.
I love the writing and characters – intelligent and funny
We looked forward to the Season 5 Premier, and was NOT disappointed! Please keep it on the air!
I’d watch Tom Mison in anything. Please keep him on the air even if Sleepy Hollow ends up being cancelled
I’d watch Tom Mison in anything. Please keep him on the air!!!!!
Don’t cancel sleepy hallow it’s one of the better shows airing now.
Not anymore
Please renew this show – I started watching Sleepy Hollow late, but once I got in to the show, I realized it’s very good. I miss the character Abby Mills, but Ichabod Crane makes the show interesting and I love the wit of the lines between Crane and Jenny. Please put it on at a decent time and people who were watchers will watch again. I enjoy the storyline and the constant threats! Please reconsider. I will periodically check back for updates to look for a season 5. The problem with television these days is that there aren’t enough good… Read more »
