Last year, Sleepy Hollow started out really strong in the ratings but the numbers fell significantly over the course of the season. FOX is really struggling so they renewed it. But will the numbers continue to fall this year? Will Sleepy Hollow be renewed for a third year or will it be cancelled? 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. Unfortunately, the Headless Horseman has also returned. The cast includes Nicole Beharie, Orlando Jones, Katia Winter, Clancy Brown, John Cho, and Richard Cetrone.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
3/18 update: FOX has renewed Sleepy Hollow for a third season of 18 episodes.
Final season averages: 1.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.57 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
For comparisons: The first season of Sleepy Hollow averaged a 2.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.46 million total viewers.
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. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Sleepy Hollow TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
Please don’t cancel Sleepy Hollow!! It is fantastic- action, history, mystical, all wrapped into one show. I don’t understand why some people think it’s cheesy. It’s different. It’s not like all of the other shows. It’s great that it’s NOT like the rest of the police shows out there. Many of my friends & family also love it. PLEASE LEAVE IT ON- WE’RE HOOKED!
The writing sucks big time. I loved the show last season. I don’t want to watch a love story, or marriage counseling. I want action. Humanizing the headless horseman was a huge mistake. NOONE cares about a love triangle between ichabod, katrina and the horseman dude. Or about Jennie’s love life with that blond dude. That is obvious by the declining ratings. We want action. Katrina needs to stay in the background. If they renew, yhey need to fire all of the writers. I can’t even muster up the will to fight to keep this show on. The writing is… Read more »
I like the show, please bring more history from the revolution time
I am a 70 yrs. old black American woman. I have enjoyed the show from the very first episode and continue to do so. Please do not cancel this imaginative and entertaining show.
Please renew sleepy hollow
For what it’s worth, this is the most interesting and thought provoking series that has started since The X-Files! The character of Icabod Crane is superbly acted and delivered! The history mixed with the supernatural is combined flawlessly. My only complaint about the series is, dont make it so dark… throw in more humor provided by Crane and his dilemma of being tossed into the modern world. And bring back the blond “artifact hunter” He was very good as well.
I really enjoy watching Sleepy Hollow. It is imaginative and not cheesy or dumb like many other shows that are still on but should have been canceled during the first season. Please don’t cancel it.
It’s hard to believe there are still people clinging to the notion that Katrina is somehow responsible for the decline of the show. LOL. Oh, if life were that simple. Look, I know some people have an obvious strong bias toward Abbie, but Katrina is a key part of the core Sleepy Hollow love triangle. It makes no sense that “getting rid of her” would somehow magically bring back the viewers who stopped watching as Season 1 went on, or bring back the viewers who bailed in Season 2. Katrina was fine in Season 1, although underused; then the writers… Read more »
Don’t cancel! I love the show and Tom Mison!
Please do not cancel Sleepy Hollow. As someone else said, I was “hooked” right away and i love it. Keep it going for season three.
Please do not cancel this show. It’s great
Please keep Sleepy Hollow on!! My family and I are BIG fans. The show is great and the actors are perfect for the roles they were chosen for. The show ties in history of the founding fathers and spirituality. Great entertainment!!
Everyone in my family from those in their 20’s to those in their 60’s enjoy sleepy hollow. It’s very rare to find a show that you can watch together and discuss as a family and it’s not just my kids but my sister’s family and my brothers. So I’m really hoping that you continue this show. Plus it’s nice to see a show with content rather than all the other reality shows that seem to have taken over the networks. So please keep this show going the character growth and relationships are great.
Your comment says it all! All different age groups DO enjoy this wonderful ADVENTURE. The WHOLE family enjoys watching together, which is RARE in these times in which we live in. Now that is great family togetherness at it’s best! Sleepy Hollow is our American’s historical accounting during the Cival War. This show keeps the LEGEND alive along with a modern day twist. I love that the ancestors of the original inhabitants are alive, have cone together, & fight against the “End of Days”. So much story yet to be told. I do not know why that the FOX network… Read more »
Sorry again with my typos. I type so fast & it looks correct & then it changes. I know I need to proof read. Anyway, Sleepy Hollow is TOO GREAT to cancel. Please read our posts & realize that another season with little tweeks from our comments SHOULD keep Sleepy Hollow #1! Your cast works well together. We need our American Heritage hit show NOW!!
Please renew “Sleepy Hollow”…I was “hooked” from the first episode…wonderful actors that make for great characters…one of the best I seen in a long time for this genre…the kind of show you put a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door so you won’t miss a minute..ratings..why does everything come down to numbers (18-49 age group…I guess I don’t count because I’m in my late 50’s…I think the show appeals to all age groups)…listen to the fans…I love “Sleepy Hollow” !!!
I agree about the age demographics. Why do the networks cater to the 18 – 49yrs age group? I also believe that too much time lapse between seasons cause viewers to either think the show is canceled or lose interest. Switching days & times may also cause a show’s demise. Please renew Sleepy Hollow. There is so much more story lines to be told. Bring it back. We the viewers MATTER!
Sleepy Hollow was a very pleasant surprise last year; I haven’t missed an episode. It’s fresh, quirky, wonderfully cast, and the writer’s are to be commended for being imaginative, yet clever in their making the historical connections. So much of that they write, quite frankly. is educating the American public about our founding fathers…they were not the perfect darlings that our history books portray. They were flawed human beings full of contradictions. Not to be overlooked is the spiritual connection (without the preaching). Lovely to see John Noble again (I’ m a big LoTR /Fringe fan, and I even suffered… Read more »
I like Sleepy Hollow a lot. I think it is very clever & very entertaining. Why do the networks always rely on the ratings. Maybe they should move it to another time & day. I hope Fox will not cancel it. Maybe the networks taste are all in their mouths.
