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?
No, no, no…you can’t cancel Sleepy Hollow, unless you plan to continue with only the monster fighting scenes every single episode. The fans want more! We want Abbie and Crane to hook up. It doesn’t have to be for real; it could be a dream. This show reminds me of the X-Files. Mulder and Scully hooked up (sorta) in an earlier episode by way of a ghost ship from long ago. You portray the black slaves/servants so well in this show that I can find it believable that Crane could’ve had a crush on Abbie or someone who Nicole can… Read more »
Please do not cancel Sleepy Hollow!! It’s a great show with a lot more to give, just give it next season to prove it.
I love this showi love that there is so much true history mixed with folk lore. It’s exciting and always has mei. The edge of my seat. It’s the only show I watch on fox besides the Simpsons I would be very dissappointed and upset if it were canceled.
Do not cancel. This is an awesome show. Suspenseful and captivating. Awesome show
Last night’s show was a nice change of pace. Everyone in our household actually liked it, and wouldn’t mind seeing more episodes along this line. For once, Katrina actually got some positive face time with her husband, and she got to see some mystery and action, too. We liked the atmospheric and historical qualities of the episode, as well. Going back to the original opening credit sequence for the show, Katia Winter and Tom Mison were the first two human figures (sharing a kiss–thus, revealing the importance of their relationship) in the images depicted, and only the names of the… Read more »
Given the show received the lowest rating of the season, most viewers disagree with your assessment. So do I. I fast forwarded past the Katrina bits.
Sleepy Hollow used to be an exciting and wonderful show full of diverse and interesting characters which made the show very entertaining and fun to watch. A show most of us looked forward to watching from week to week. Where has that show gone? Abbie Mills and Ichabod Crane were a unique and dynamic partnership, And after a day of kicking demon butt, they had those special moments at the end of each show which solidified them as the Witnesses; the end game of SH. Now, Abbie Mills has been sidelined and marginalized as the second witness and who do… Read more »
It really seems like you have a personal agenda of some kind. No one on this show was hired because they have no talent; you sound like you have a personal bias. If you don’t like Katrina Crane’s part (other than something personal about the actress), then blame the writers. Ms. Winter is a fine actress, if you bother to look at some of her other work. She deserves better scripted lines and scenes, just as the others do. And don’t let the writers off the hook about all the emotional stuff that Ichabod is dealing out each week. It… Read more »
I doubt its her personal preference for the “other woman.” Abbie is a way better character than Katrina. Katrina is bland and boring. Also, her and Ichabod have no chemistry. The show’s ratings are falling partly because of the writers increasing her scenes.
Abbie and Ichabod have so much more chemistry. When are they going to finally “hook them up” and forget Katrina. She is a pretty actress but there is no chemistry between her and Ichabod. Hope to see more of Orlando Jones’ s character as well. We LOVE this show…please bring it back! !
I so agree with this review. It describes exactly what we’ve been thinking all season. If this show is going to make it, it needs to kill off Katrina once and for all. She is so boring! The Abby/Ichabod pair is perfect and makes the show! If Katrina is a witch, why is she so useless!? Just kill her off already and don’t bring her back, and I bet you will see the credits rise again to where they were.
I really hope the show is renewed. It has a lot of potential with more great stories to tell. The two main leads are fantastic. If anything, I hope they fire the show-runners and writers for their terrible decision making that would have such a great show is the predicament to begin with.
I like the show very much. I do hope they fix Katrina and Ichabod marriage, I would like them to stay married. I do think Katrina need to understand that every one can’t be saved that Abraham need will not change he will still want Ichabod dead.
The could be cancelled because of the Crane marriage drama and you still want more of it. Please wake up. If that nonsense keep up it will surely end. Get over it, already.
I meant: The show could be cancelled….
I enjoy watching sleepy hollow I don’t trust katrina but I Love Ichabbie
I love this show. Please don’t cancel it! I do agree with earlier comments….something needs to be done with Katrina’s character. A different direction if you are going to keep her on it.
I’ve been wondering why viewers have left. The set up leading to the confrontation with Molloch, was well done. Love this show. And I agree with others that this is so much better than all of the reality crap out there. Keep it! Keep it! Keep it!
The Crane Family Drama is the problem. It was and is not entertaining. When they tuned in with that nonsense, people tuned out.
I love the show. I actually am trying to get on as an Extra since they film it close to my parents. I know tons of the location they film at so it’s great to see it on tv & say hey I was just there last week! I do agree Katrina’s character is wavering. The whole I’m in trouble help Ichabob no wait I’m ok is a little unnerving. I do have high hopes for this series. I think they should bring on the writers from last season. Also FYI if you go to downtown Newbern you can see… Read more »
All of those places where filmed at on location
I had an aunt who lived in New Bern and saw it years ago. It’s a beautiful town and I can’t imagine leaving NC for Georgia, but money is money.
Once again, a show that had fans in the palm of its hand has lost its way. The complaints regarding the direction the drama has decided to follow is alienating viewers and ensuring former fans will not return. What happens to these shows and why do writers feel they can do as they please and expect people to accept changes quietly and without question? Sleepy Hollow appears to be in the throws of controversy, similar to the one faced by Person of Interest. Whenever the question of racial imbalance or mistreatment of minority cast members is raised, situations become exceedingly… Read more »
I know. I’ve gotten the nastiest posts on twitter I’ve ever received and they all point fingers at the race thing, but the truth is, none of the black characters have ever been “offed” as a bunch of others have, none of the black characters are on the evil side (they’re all white), none of the black characters have ever been criticized or harassed. This is the same situation. These fans want an all black show and they’re determined to shove the rest of us out. Maybe they should have gone with an all black cast, thought the flashbacks would… Read more »
That train of thought just derailed. There are only three of them and two were the first to know evil was coming in the form of Moloch. They cannot be killed because they are Light Warriors. Frank was killed.
katrina is your week link in the show.. she isn’t a strong actress.. her character is weakly written.. i mean come on! how long can she be used as a perpetual damsel in distress?! the show was sooo strong when she was trapped in purgatory, and her last line in the show to turn ichabod’s son stole the mojo of ichabod’s monologue! either fix her character or kill her off!!
I would love to see the show continue… please don’t give up on it yet. I think the show is really great and I love how the storyline turns known facts about American history upside down with supernatural twists. There is nothing like this show, it is unique and the cast is spectacular. I think the first season was much stronger than the second one… and maybe that’s why the ratings went down a bit? I think Orlando Jones character being in jail and less present didn’t help, he added quite a bit… I hope he is back for a… Read more »
I love Sleepy Hollow !!! I love Abbie and Ichabod !!!! Please don’t cancel Sleepy Hollow Fox !!! That would be stupid !
Agreed! Another time slot and/or another day would draw in more viewers as other struggling shows in the past have.
Also, I was informed that cable company Primetime playbacks of the show affect the shows ratings. If a viewer waits for the noncommercial version, the show does not get rating credit!
