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 really enjoyed season one and season 1.5, but they started doing some weird stuff, and moved away from the original premise and then it sucked. Without Abbie and Crane together this show is finished.
Love this show hope it stays on the air
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL! I HAVE NOT MISSED AN EPISODE SINCE THE VERY FIRST ONE. IF THEY CONTINUE ON WITH A NEXT SEASON WITH THE WAY IT JUST ENDED, I FEEL THAT THEY CAN BRING IT BACK! COME ON FOX!
I really enjoy this show. It was hard to watch when it was on Thursdays but now it’s much easier on Fridays. It’s different than many other site. Please renew
The end is near. Who will they kill off this time? For the very last show, you can bet someone will die. This show died along time ago. Time to remove life support and cancel this puppy.
I have enjoyed sleeply hollow since day one. I would like for it to continue. Please don t cancel it.
I love it because it’s so different to some of the rubbish on T.V. I think it should have a final season to at least come to a fitting conclusion. I hate it when they cancel shows with a cliffhanger.
This show cannot end here. It is getting so good. It is a great show if you really watch it. Most people work or only have internet so the live show rating sucks, but people do watch it on demand and online. People like me. At least couple more season to tie the show up please. First time commenting about a show because I think this show is worth saving.
Hate to have to point out that the ratings stink. Love it, hate it, the ratings still stink. See all those minus signs? A successful show has something called an audience. Sleepy Hollow is a total failure. Numbers don’t lie. They scream failure. Hope you like reruns.
I love Sleepy Hollow I want another season
This is one of few shows I look forward to watching every week…one of my favourites…it has kept my attention…pleeeaase do not cancel it! Very interesting show and story and I am anxious to see crane and abbey as a couple…PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL!
I loved the first two seasons. Thought it was a smart move to bring in Matt Barr as Nick Hawley. Now I just can’t get into it anymore
Love this show, please don’t cancel, one more season to end with Crane and Abby romance.
this is a great show please don’t cancel I love this show, it is so inspiring and
to know some history of our past is terrific.
I agree with David Holley comments let it settle down into regular pattern
so viewers can get attached.
One of the better shows being aired instead of all those situation comedies.
Sleepy Hollow isn’t that bad, sure some episodes that taken the show away from it’s intended goal, but overall I’ve quite enjoyed the show. As with another favorite show “Fringe” the network never seems to let sleep hollow settle down into regular pattern of viewing whereby the audience could get attached, always changing the nights it was on, making way for sporting events and punctuating episodes so that you’d get 3 or 4 episodes a week followed by 1 0r two 3 weeks later, hardly a reciepe for success if you wish to keep an audience.
