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.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it 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?
renew it
I like it so much.Plz donot cancel it.Renew it for season 5.
Please please please renew!
I like the show, haven’t missed an episode since it began. They always keep me on the edge of my seat. Hope it comes back for season 5 and more episodes. If they don’t bring it back at least give it some dignity and wrap up unfinished business in a two hour movie or something. I can’t stand it when networks just drop a show and leave the loyal viewers hanging.
I love the show and look forward to another season. Love the historical backgrounds with the magical twist. Like that you added Lara/Molly with training as a witch.
The show is finished. The ratings make it obvious. This isn’t the CW. This is FOX. Renewing it with a 0.7 last season was horrific. The fact that the ratings are even worse this season makes it more obvious. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Most watch it on Hulu- as I do get to watch it at my convenience- it’s great!
Please renew! One of the best shows on TV!!!
RENEW Sleepy Hollow love it. Love the historic feel of this show and i don’t usually like them
I agree
Please keep season 5
I love Sleepy Hollow
Please have season 5 I love watching Sleepy Hollow.
I enjoy the show. It’s entertaining and Tom Mison is a cutie pie. I hope it’s renewed for season 5.
I love this show. Really look forward to watching it every week. Please do not cancel this show. Renew Sleepy Hollow. This show takes you to places that no other show has or can. Exciting and I love it.
REnew Sleepy Hollow for season 5. As a history teacher and lover of colonial and 19th American history I love how they relate the supernatural and historical events together. This is one show I love to watch.
Keep season five
I agree with post ACS, not enough people care about Sleepy Hollow anymore for the network to waste more money on a season 5. The only reason why the show asked for a season 4 was to try and stick it to Nicole Beharie as to say “see we never needed you in the first place, our ratings are better without you”. Well, they are seeing first hand how that turned out.. Sleepy Hollow season 4 has the worst ratings in the history of the show and is one of the lowest rated shows on the network…LOL
I don’ think Fox renewed to spite Nichole Beharie, although some might have been happy to do so. Fox is a business. They renewed because they thought they could hold enough audience to make money. They probably expected about 25% net of the audience to peel off. That has not been the case. They have peeled off 40% of the live view demo, 37% of the live audience and most telling, the show is not making it up in delayed views. Even with delayed views, it is still the worst performing show on Fox. It went from 10 million live… Read more »
I AGREE!!!!!
