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?
I love Sleepy Hollow and I’m hooked looking forward to season 5. Don’t stop producing this show
Please don’t cancel sleepy hollow, I really love the show
Please renew Sleepy Hollow. It’s a great show. Team Witness is awesome.
Yes please renew the show, I love the show
I am a Hulu watcher of this show for scheduling — it’s great!
Yes please renew the show but bring the character of Abbie Mills back in a woman recast her if Nicole Behrari doesn’t want to return and try giving A little more spiritual battle people love that like the Flash – Ichabod is eternally good and the Historical aspect mixed with Revelations is great. Expand Revelations and by the way The Henry thing is too creepy having an older man play a younger man’s kid and making Abbie into a kid just keep normal ages. They lost half their viewers with way to much weirdness and demons of the week versus… Read more »
I love this show!!! Please renew it.
I think this show definitely deserves a fifth season. Terrific show. Look forward to watch every week. Love Tom Mission!!!!!
I think the show has great possibilities but with Abbie gone, I think It would have been better to make Annie found again in another person his own age. I hate Henry, the whole father aged son is creepy. I felt season three had great depth in ways the show needed and didn’t have in season 2, I would love to see Abbie recast to continue the storyline since she is supposed to have an eternal soul and I think Ichabods character is stellar, glad they aren’t just in sleepy hollow and have expanded a bit, big world lots of… Read more »
It deserves a Fifth Season … Very good show !
Been a loyal viewer since day one. Please renew it. I think a lot of people just don’t know about the show.
Randy people already know about Sleepy Hollow, they stopped watching because Abbie was killed off in season 3. Obviously replacing Abbie and all the other changes to the show did not work because Sleepy Hollow is the lowest rated show on the network..
I love this show, and have been watching since season 1. I’ve watched the previous seasons several times and think this show is original and explores some interesting themes, and is very well written. I also really like that it has strong, capable female leads – we don’t have many of those! – so really hope this gets renewed for season 5. It would be a crying shame if it didn’t. Tom Mison is great, and actually think the show has coped well with the loss of a main character. It gives the show a new avenue to explore, so… Read more »
the dynamic is weird now, i feel like the casting was great before and it really broke my dedication to the show when they axed nicole..weird i wish i knew what really happened but yeah, im not feeling the dynamic anymore, when you make a connection with the audience you dont axe a huge part of it, thats such a seemingly amateur thing to do… thats like axing cookie from empire..thats the end of that show :/
Aryel, First of all, I love your name and its unique spelling. Secondly, it is my understanding that Nicole was not axed, but that she chose to leave for other opportunities.
Nicole wanted to move on- sad choice they should have recast her
They did recast her..with a light skinned woman named Janina
I am super impressed with this show. I don’t have cable so I watch it the next day on Hulu. I have watched season 1-3 three times and 1-4 twice. I would be very upset if the show got canceled, especially with the cliffhanger that we were fed. You could also maybe look into asking Nicole Beharie to make a return with Crane finding a way to save her?
I like the sleepy hollow series and have been watching since the first show! I hope it gets renewed for season 5! I love Tom Mison and the rest of the cast.
