As a long-time aficionado of the silver screen and the small one, I must confess that the prospect of a new Sherlock Holmes adventure has me positively thrilled! The BBC series, with Benedict Cumberbatch‘s riveting portrayal of the great detective and Martin Freeman’s equally captivating Watson, was a truly unforgettable experience.
For seven years now, fans have been eagerly waiting for another installment of the captivating BBC mystery series, featuring the iconic detective. The titular role was played by Martin Freeman, with Dr. John Watson as his loyal companion, across four seasons from 2010 to 2017. Creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat have shown interest in creating a fifth season, and now producer Sue Vertue has given hints about the potential continuation of the TV franchise.
According to a recent interview with Deadline, Virtue mentioned that the possibility of a Sherlock revival hinges on whether the main actors are prepared to rejoin. Despite speculation about behind-the-scenes conflicts between the two principal actors (Cumberbatch and Freeman), there has been expressed enthusiasm about resuming their roles. At present, no active development is taking place, but Virtue hasn’t closed the door on a potential return. She stated:
I’m quite fond of that series, and I believe it has potential for the future, though it may take time. If there’s enough interest, I might dust off the old set – truth be told, it’s likely not in great condition now – but coordinating everyone seems to be the challenge. It’s a matter of getting the actors on board with the idea.
Sherlock Creators Game for Season 5
2023 brings an exciting update from Steven Moffat himself – he’s all set for a fifth season of Sherlock, assuming Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are on board. Earlier this year, Mark Gatiss, our beloved Mycroft Holmes, hinted at a potential movie spin-off, acknowledging the hurdles of aligning everyone’s busy schedules. In an interview with Esquire back in 2021, Cumberbatch himself expressed his willingness for a fifth season of Sherlock, stating:
I’m quite fond of that character, but I feel the timing isn’t right yet for more developments. For now, it seems like they’ve reached their peak and I appreciate them just as they are. However, there’s a chance we might see a revival in the future.
In Sherlock’s four seasons, there were three extended episodes that earned a multitude of Emmy Awards for exceptional performances and scriptwriting. Reviving this crime drama would undoubtedly rekindle viewers’ interest in the intriguing mysteries and escapades of the extraordinary detective. Following the series finale, both Freeman and Cumberbatch ventured into Hollywood, where they both became integral parts of the blockbuster Marvel Cinematic Universe. The possibility of Cumberbatch reprising his role as Sherlock would undoubtedly stir excitement among fans, potentially drawing in new viewers who are fans of the Marvel Universe, eager to witness the Doctor Strange star’s unique interpretation of the literary legend.
The two stars last appeared together on screen in 2017 during their concluding episode named “The Final Problem,” which received negative feedback from both fans and critics. In an interview with The Guardian in 2023, Gatiss expressed interest in creating a Sherlock film, stating, “We are eager to make a Sherlock movie. It seems like the logical next step.” This potential production might provide them an opportunity to rectify the series finale’s reception…
