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?
I absolutely love this show. Its one of the few newer shows I can stand. I will be greatly disappointed if this is the last season.
Sorry folks, only one show left. After that, the only place to view Sleepy Hollow actors will be in “Where are they now” and
“Celebrity wrestling” shows. Many actors are ruined by terrible TV shows, and their careers never recover. They will have a hard time disassociating themselves from a loser like Sleepy Hollow. I just hope they saved their money. Otherwise, you may see them at your local Box store asking if you want a cart.
Love love this show, been watching since day 1
Fox has a lot of fantastic programming. I love Second Chance, Lucifer, and Sleepy Hollow. Hardly any of them get very good ratings for whatever reason. None of the gorgeous, gifted stars of these great shows ever appear on any of the syndicated talk shows to promote themselves. Why is that? I’d love to see Tom Mison or Rob Kasinsky attempt to cook on The Rachael Ray show. Just a thought.
Love the show don’t cancel it been watching since day 1
Please do not cancell!!!! Love the show!!!
Characters are great. We need this show
This show is great and interesting and I love the actors connections. They mesh well. Great actors, great special effects and intriguing storylines. Keep this show going!

Don’t cancel Sleepy Hollow, I really enjoy watching this show!!!!
Fox-TV, please renew Sleepy Hollow and keep it on Friday nights. I love starting my weekend off by watching Sleepy Hollow and tweeting! This show is fantastic and it is one of the best shows on television to date!
If Fox brings this dud back, they are absolutely nuts Even if they can syndicate it with a few more episodes, why would they waste the time. Ratings like last week are about as high as your local government cable channel. When you have a loser like Sleepy Hollow, better to pick up your chips and walk away with some dignity than to take another drink and lay down a losing hand.
sleepy hollow what a great show it is the best show on fox or any other channel the writer’s are very good. the first and the second season was not as good as the third season it’s thrilling. i can’t wait for the next show. i think it is about time to send Pandora’s husband back to where he came from. i have watched every show on all channels and sleepy hollow is the best, more creative than any other show on any channel. another great thing about sleepy hollow is the children can watch the show with their parents… Read more »
I loved this show in season 1. Season two lost its way and became more about Ichibods wife than the three horsemen, Season 3 came back new – what about the apocalypse? I gave up and dnt watch it anymore. Too not Sleepy Hollow related.
I love this show, its a good, FOX basically shot itself in the foot, when Gotham and Empire came out it forgot all its other show and promoted it all wrong. Sleepy Hollow has no commercials and should have been left on Mondays nights. Its a interesting show and makes you to learn about historic events. The guy who plays Crane is a excellant actor and the others are ok too!
Only a handful of people are watching it’s quite sad. The show is already dead you may as well put the nail in the coffin. Free Tom Misson up to do quality film and TV, he deserves better
Tom Mison is not being held prisoner. He can simply decide not to do the show and not sign another contract. Although I like Tom Mison and enjoy his performances, he is not the main reason why I watch the show. I watch the show because I love the blend of Action, Comic Relief, Supernatural, and Twistory. Moreover, the entire cast of Sleepy Hollow is exceptional! I think Sleepy Hollow could survive without Tom Mison if another UK actor with a slightly more athletic build were cast as Ichabod Crane – one can have good looks, brawn, and brains. The… Read more »
