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.
5/9 update: FOX has cancelled Sleepy Hollow. Details here.

For comparisons: The third season of Sleepy Hollow averaged a 0.83 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.07 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
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 hope there will be a season 5 and it will be longer than 13 episodes. It’s hard when a beloved character is killed off. I was angry when another show killed off a character but she ended up on another FOX show that became their top show of the season and is still going strong. People don’t always leave for negative reasons. She may have had some offers she couldn’t refuse. You’ll be surprised. I love this show for the blend of history, horror and humor. Most importantly, I love it for the teamwork and everyone knowing their personal… Read more »
Yes and that other show when to crap and died shortly after they killed off that character just like this one seems to be doing. Outside of resurrecting Abbie which is probably too little too late I don’t see how this survives. I want it too but I still feel some kind of way about them killing her off. SMH
Keep it, I look forward to it every week!!
Keep Sleepy Hollow. Actors are good. Story line can be improved. I have been a fan since beginning. Too bad Annie actor moved on but not the only good actor in the series.
Sleepy hollow season 4 looking good great cast i hope it get another season . I would still watch it and see what happen next on good vs evil battle.
I have been a fan of Sleepy Hollow from episode one. I loved the original premise of a famous fictional character such as Ichabod Crane to be resurrected in 21st century Sleepy Hollow, New York. The chemistry between Ichabod, Abby, Jenny, and Irving were undeniably good. The villians have steadily fallen off since Molak was defeated, which I thought should have been a temporary defeat. As they say good and evil are always present. I liked how Joe Corbin was introduced. The introduction of his character made sense. However, all of a sudden a new witness is introduced as an… Read more »
This show needs to die. The ratings are an embarrassment and honestly, not enough people care anymore, especially compared to less expensive shows with better demo (ROI). What few fans they have left should enjoy the last two episodes and hope the EPs had the good sense to plan for a decent series finale. It’s done and if not, I won’t understand what Fox is thinking giving this bottom of the barrel under-performer a season 5.
The show is going to die. A 0.50 live ratings average is an abomination. This isn’t the CW. This is FOX. Renewing shows like this with ratings like this 5 years ago would have gotten someone fired, and it should now.
This season is AWESOME, can’t wait until next and sadly I stream day after via Paid Hulu, so not being counted apparently!?! 10 fold improvement over last season which I’m not even sure I watched last episode was so very it, but anxious to give it another try hoping for revamp and what a great job they did! Love how INTERGRATED new likable & no like able -evil characters and Of course keeping our FAVORITE!(s)
Would be down right disappointing if they didn’t continue it.
This show is the best it’s ever been. Please renew
I want Sleepy Hollow to stay on.
Im sorry…but the whole last season (3) even with its basic leading up to Abbie’s death spelled doom. Kind of f’n stupid to get rid of the actor you began the show with, because if I remember correctly, Icobob didnt even come in until the third episode. The show was built around Nichole. Equally the chemistry between these two actors was genuinely true, even if they only allowed them to be friends, ( to me there should have been something more; but I guess in hollywood, only a Black man can date a white women, it can’t be the other… Read more »
Here is the thing I don’t think they wanted to kill Abbie off. Nicole from what I understand wanted out. Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.
Nicole left on her choice to do movies they need to recast her in an adult
I’ve watched it from day one and I still love the show. I like the new characters and they have Matt Barrs character Hawley Jenny’s friend they can bring back. The could spice it up more but I’m still gonna b watching.
Renew! PLEASE!
I have been an avid follower of this show from day one, and it used to be so good, such good characters Abbie, Crane, Katrina, Henry, Jenny, Irving. So many great characters theyre all different in their own right , had such good chemistry with one another. Now I feel after season 3 theyve killed literally everyone that makes the show good except Crane and Jenny and the characters including the antagonist arent interesting at all, nothing is being accomplished or exciting in any way. Dreyfuss is now immortal and reaking havoc trying to make hell on earth. It would… Read more »
Yes keep it going…Love the show and the actors are wonderful!
Honestly, I’m petty. I want the show to get cancelled because of how Abbie (Nicole Beharie) was killed off. How did the writers kill off one of main characters of the show?! I have not watched Sleepy Hollow since then. Cancel it so that I can give the, “You did this to yourselves,” laugh.
Unhappy with the decline in quality, Nicole Beharie asked to be written off the show. So it was the writers’ fault, but not for the reasons you suggest. They didn’t want to kill her off.
The actress wanted to leave, they had to find some way to do yhis and continue. I quite like what they’ve done.
I loved Abbie. But everything I researched said she was killed off becaus she wanted to leave the show. Please correct me if you know different.
I have been watching SLEEPY HOLLIW since the 1st episode. From the 1st moment I was addixted. The first 3 seasons were fantastic. I didn’t care much fir the fourth with the direction change but because I really do live the show. I’d LOVE ro see it continue . .
