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?
Fingers crossed that Sleepy Hollow will not be cancelled. I think it is very well written.
Please renew…it’s a wonderful show!
Please RENEW: kill Molly’d mom. If Molly is the witness, then allow her to BE the witness! Move the show to Monday, Tuesday or even a Wednesday time slot and its seasons to start on October like it did season 1. Ichabod should raise Molly. The witnesses and new team do have a good team and click going on, except the mother – super annoying and mama bear syndrome just doesn’t cut it. Why make little Molly be the witness and she’s not allowed to be the witness; then why not have made Jenny the witness upon Abbey’s death. After… Read more »
I also say renew. I absolutely love the show.
Please renew
Please renew this show.I gave up my previous favorites to come back to this. There is nothing else that interest me on Fox
Please…. do not renew. You don’t kill a main character and think you are going to have regular viewers. The show is a mess. They had a connection, a bond that was evident. I say pay (actress who played abbie) alot and get her back on.
I say renew it. The show had a rough start but now the characters work as a great team.
Sleepy hollow has been a good series with a lot of adventure and history that has a lot been fogotten. Which should go for season 5 and resurrect everyone that has died. Then the ratings will rise.
renew show!! i honestly love this show. change is always needed with any show.
The premise of the show is still great; the mix of history and supernatural events remains intriguing. Tom Mison is awesome. However, the supporting cast is not interesting and there is no chemistry between the team members, or between Crane and Diana. The writers have found a way to turn Molly into an adult; a young 21 or 22 year old young woman to pair with Crain who is much older- the middle aged mans fantasy, that the men who run the Fox think , creates good chemistry. Another failed attempt to gain viewers. The reason Nicole Behrie wanted to… Read more »
I love this show renew it, I always look forward to watching every week to see what different things will happen its always exciting. And it always seems like the shows I like to watch are always cancelled for those stu__d reality shows and if that continues may as well go old school and listen to radio.
Renew! And to all those who say that the show is doomed because of Abbie’s death, Charmed was renewed for another five seasons after the death of Prue.
Renew! The only reason ratings are down is because everyone uses Hulu and On Demand to see the show instead of watching it live.
Keep the show. I love Ichabod and the other characters. Great twist on the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow
