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?
The ratings are down because Abby is not there. The show this season is not interesting and the writers think the fans are stupid. The new witness was supposed to be a direct descendent of Abby. Her and Jenny’s Father, the detectives and even Pandora are just gone with no explanation at all. The fans are loyal to a point. The Show has lost it’s creepy goodness and Sleepy hollow Charm. Please bring Abby back ! I think the first season was so good because it was set in sleepy hollow, there were recurring cast members ( where’s Hawley? )… Read more »
I think they need to recast Abby if The original actress doesn’t want to return but they need to have good chemistry and care about the battle indeed. I loved the last 7 episodes of season 3 except when they killed off Abby.
I love the battle of good versus evil and the historical aspect. I think a little more faith based would be good too
It now has 2 horrific elements – a KID and a POLITICAL megalomaniac story line that makes absolutely no sense at all considering the current real life political climate. They should have ended this show IN Sleepy Hollow with the WIN for the Witnesses and not drag it on and on with one battle after the other… too much like Supernatural on the CW
Although it would be fun to have these same-theme shows all merge together in one BIG battle, however there are also way TOO many “Lucifers”!
You are absolutely correct. Never mind that the show doesn’t take place in Sleepy Hollow anymore, but the KID is just a huge mistake.
The show cannot end correctly like this BIBLICALLY. Revelations is Amazing if told right. Ichabod is stellar they just do weird age things. In fact their big drop in ratings happened when they made Henry a man old enough to be Ichabods dad into his son…just crazy and sad they could have done so much better making him a teen
Yes. It should be cancelled. And it should not be called sleepy hollow anymore
Although I miss Abby, am enjoying new characters … waiting to see how Molly works out as a “witness”. Hope it’s renewed.
I love this show, I was skeptical about this season without Abbie but I like it and it’s refreshing. I don’t have cable so I have to watch on Hulu there are many other people who do the same and going off views from cable is not fair to the viewers who watch streaming.
Renew.
Consider the return of abbie…somehow..
Guarantee die hard fans will re-engage. Sleepy hollow without abbie and cranes chemistry is simply…. empty. Would be a shame to see it end so poorly after 3 really great seasons.
I agree, they have to bring back abbey. I don’t like a ten year old being a witness,who is not even a direct descendant of Abby’s which the next witness is supposed to be. ( according to sleepy hollows brown writers ) This show can be saved if the Writers listen to the Fans. I hope they do !
The actress who played Abbie wanted to leave and has no interest in coming back… what is it you’d like the writers to do? (They could have kept her if they didn’t screw up the show in the first place, leading to the decline in quality which made Nicole Beharie want to leave.) Bottom line, it ain’t gonna happen.
Recast Abby and refocus
New actors this season terrible! Cancel or not, I won’t watch anymore!
Please don’t cancel Sleepy Hollow!!! I love the storyline & the characters! I record the show just in case I have to work late!!! Love the mix of history, magic, humor, & drama!
Pull the plug. This season is marginally better, but the prescence of Malcolm brings the show down. Just do bad guy of the week and forget the boss level character. Big mistake to kill off major character last season. Show is just tired.
Please renew Sleepy Hollow for season 5 it’s such a great show I’m a huge fan and religiously watching since the season 1…its such a great history lesson combined with thrill suspense and the wiccan theme …absolutly love this show
Please renew for season 5 one of the best series ive watched in a long time
I love this show!!!! Please renew it!!!!!
Love this show; it mix history with future and past subjects. Rather, some thing in the show is fictional the bible reads of two witnesses that will speak to the world in the last days.
All time low ratings again??? The show is running a race without any legs. Where is the numb skull who thought a season 4 would be a good idea? I bet they are hiding in shame now! Probably a Trump University graduate.
Sleepy Hollow used to be an amazing show, but now it is boring and predictable. The first 2 seasons were great; season three was tedious as the Pandora storyline was dragged out way too long and this reboot is lame. The show was built around the chemistry of Crane and Abbie and without that foundation, the show has no center or dynamic force for good to battle evil. Fox made an error devaluing Abbie’s importance believing Tom Mison alone is all that is needed to make the show work. The ratings prove this. The new characters are just not that… Read more »
