FOX announced today that it has renewed
Sleepy Hollow for an 18 episode third season. The show was a fresh, out of the gate hit in its first year (which was only a 13 episode fall season). It got an early renewal for season two, but hit a wall in the ratings this year (as well as creatively from what I hear). FOX was non-committal about the show in its winter TCA press tour which led me to think its chances were diminishing. But they got a new showrunner in Clifton Campbell and will try again. I think this is an irreversible decline, but I guess we'll see.
Sleepy Hollow joins
Bob's Burgers, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Empire, Gotham, and
Masterchef Junior as renewals for next year. Sure to join them are
American Idol, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and
New Girl. I'd say it's a pretty good bet that
Bones, Hell's Kitchen, The Mindy Project, maybe
World's Funniest Fails, and probably
The Last Man on Earth join that list, while it's looking dicey for
The Following and not looking good for
Backstrom.
