The beloved TV series, Sherlock, has been a fan favorite since its debut in 2010. Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, the show is based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective stories featuring Sherlock Holmes. With Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role as Sherlock and Martin Freeman as Doctor John Watson, the show received critical acclaim and was nominated for multiple awards, including Emmys and BAFTAs.
Spanning four seasons and 13 episodes, the series was set in modern-day London, a departure from the original novels which were set in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The third season even became the UK's most watched drama series since 2001. However, after its finale in 2017, fans have been eagerly waiting for a potential return of the show, either in the form of another season or a movie.
Steven Moffat, now 62, has expressed his desire to return to the project in the past, but has now revealed the main roadblock to making that happen. In an interview with The Agency, he stated that the two main stars, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, would be needed for the show to come back. He also mentioned that the format of Sherlock Holmes' stories is timeless and will never wear out, making it a never-ending source of inspiration.
Despite Steven's comments, Benedict recently shared that he would love to reprise his role as Sherlock if the opportunity arises. However, in a 2022 interview, he acknowledged that it had to be the right time and both he and Martin were currently busy with other projects. Co-creator Mark Gatiss, who also played Sherlock's brother Mycroft on the show, addressed the possibility of a comeback, saying that they would love to make a film, but it's challenging to get everyone together.
Last year, Steven Moffat even stated that he would start writing Sherlock again if Benedict and Martin were on board for another season. He pleaded for their return, acknowledging that they have moved on to bigger and better things, but the fans still hold out hope.
In the meantime, fans can relive the series by streaming it on BBC iPlayer.
