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?
Love Sleepy Hollow! Please being it back
Season 3 has been a total flop. Too predictable. Who really thinks Abbie is gone? She will be back .as sure as, the show will be cancelled. By the time Abbie finds her way to Friday nights, there will less than a handful of Friday night fans left to greet her. If I were her, I would be trying to get on one of those shinny new replacement shows Fox is working on. Why wait for someone to hand you a pink slip?
Renewed! Love Sleepy Hollow
Renewed. I love the show! I just came across it during the 3rd season and will be highly upset if it is canceled!
remove sleepy hollow, insert Forever Season 2
i love sleepy hollow. please bring it back
in response to trimelda i believe that sleepy hollow’s abby mills is a great actress and a great role model for black woman and all woman. nicole beharie is so beautiful and even more so when she smiles. her morales are what i love about her, i am an african american man i am from the old school. this show is not only a great tv show it is a breath of fresh air. i hope they can save abby that blast was a very big blast. great show!!!!!
to help sleep hollow you need to some how go back to what made sleepy hollow great even if you use some of the first season as flash backs. betsy ross flash back only is weak. sleepy hollow needed to keep the headless horsemen and give him a purpose for what he dose with out being weak and in love. some how pandora needs to let the headless horsemen out of pandora’s box and be of control of him, only when he fit’s the purpose. and also other villens. abbey need to smile and laugh more,and be more understanding not… Read more »
The show is on life support now. Moving it to Friday night is like rolling it to the morgue and hoping it comes out of it’s ratings coma. The show is now brain dead. All we can do is wait for the decision to pull the plug. I wonder if past fans will show up for the funeral?
I love this show, PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT!
Renew! Love this show!
New low for Sleepy Hollow. Anyone know what the mid-season replacement is yet?
Renew
EXCELLENT season finale, will be waiting for the remainder to begin in Jan ’16..
I love the show!
for me this show is something like Grimm – it can be pretty mediocre about a third of the time, pretty good another third of the time, and freaking great the rest of the time. That’s why I watch it. I agree with some people here that Tom Mison is an amazing actor who should be allowed to have much more of an emotional range. Also, the show made pretty much all the changes i wanted to see it make- move to the national crime scene, have some problems that can never be solved, etc. Pandora has to go, as… Read more »
I believe it will take off too. Off the air that is.
I don’t. I believe it will STAY on the air.This is a really good show, almost great with an African American woman role model who does not sleep around with Married men, (like “Scandal”), kill people without honor (“How To Get Away With Murder”) or act like tramps,(“Empire”). May it stay on forever,
