Back when it debuted, it looked like FOX might have a hit with Sleepy Hollow. It had a strong debut but the ratings got worse and worse over the course of its first two seasons. In the spring, network execs renewed it for a third season, despite the fact that the ratings were down about 40% year-to-year. They then scheduled it on Thursday nights, a notoriously competitive evening for television. Could the numbers possibly rise this season or will they drop lower? Does FOX care anymore? (Do viewers?) Cancelled or renewed for a fourth season? Stay tuned.
A supernatural police drama, Sleepy Hollow follows Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison), a patriot who was killed 230 years ago. He finds himself resurrected in modern-day and partners with a female police lieutenant (Nicole Beharie). The cast also includes Lyndie Greenwood, Shannyn Sossamon, Nikki Reed, Lance Gross, and Zach Appelman.
The ratings are typically the best sign 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.
4/8 update: After the third season finale shocker, do you think this show should be renewed for a fourth season?
4/9 update: You can see the latest night’s ratings in context.

For comparisons: The second season of Sleepy Hollow averaged a 1.55 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.57 million total viewers.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple of days later.

What do you think? Do you still like the Sleepy Hollow TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?

Fox really wants to syndicate this pig of a show badly. Trying hard to save face and recoup some of the huge loss of money. Another stupid idea on their part. Throwing good money at a lost cause. If no one is watching the first round, who wants to watch the rehashed reruns? No one wants their name associated with this show. It is a loser top to bottom. Give up before you embarrass yourself any further. The ratings are in the toilet and it is backing up. Flush the show before it stinks up the place any worse.
The show has gone to hell in a handbasket. Hanging by a thread since season one. It has become so painful to watch, they should hand out pain pills to fans.The writers obviously are already on some strong drugs. I saw a crack head in a alley writing the next episode. If you like Sleepy Hollow now please tell your doctor. He can adjust your medication and bring you back to the living.
I really like this show. It has humour and interesting storylines and characters. Please keep it on the air!
I am a big fan of Sleepy Hollow. It is a much better program than many other that keep getting renewed.
It looks like Fox is after wants to appeal to a whiter audience. It will be interesting to see if the ratings go up after they drop the interracial relationship thing. Trump would approve of Fox’s strategy.
The NEW low budget Sleepy Hollow is coming. Don’t expect much from season 4, and you won’t be disappointed.
Hi just wanted to say please keep Sleepy Hollow on But if not than do a TV movie and tie up loose ends and have the show go out with a high note. I am a big fan of the show and will miss it when it is gone! I will watch it season4 and any more seasons.ThankYou
love this show,hope they don’t cancel it
