Sherlock Season 5 cancellation rumour, What latest updates we have

Is Sherlock Season 5 cancelled? The cancellation rumour of the making of fifth season was not vague. Simply finishing the show with rightly demonstrating the ends or unravelling the previous cliffhangers will be injustice and breaking hearts of many. Based on several reports, Season 5 is actually not cancelled and there is a chance of making it. But it will not be released in 2020.

Sherlock Season 5 is yet to receive official renewal update from BBC One. However, when the series airs in future, it will star Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in their roles as Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson.

Not only Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, but the series creator Mark Gatiss will also surely return in Sherlock Season 5 to play the role of Holmes’ elder brother Mycroft. The fifth season will draw a conclusion to The Walking Dead actress Eleanor Matsuura's character Detective Inspector Stella Hopkins. She was introduced in Season 4's premiere episode titled 'The Six Thatchers'.

Stella Hopkins was seen visiting Baker Street apartment and sending a notion to assist Sherlock, the character always played by Benedict Cumberbatch. But after that, as she was not invited, there surely lies a gap in the plot which makes a sensible chance for her in the series.

"They're few and far between, the discussions about Sherlock, just because Mark [Gatiss] and Steven [Moffat], the writers, and Benedict [Cumberbatch] and I, are all lucky enough to be not only working on stuff that we like and are interested in, but we know what Sherlock is. You don't look that gift horse in the mouth cause that sort of stuff doesn't happen very often, in someone's life. It's a huge, huge, worldwide hit, and way beyond anything we could've imagined," Martin Freeman said.

Recently, Mark Gatiss said to Radio Times that 'there were no plans for any further Sherlock series currently in the pipeline,' although he didn't rule out a return somewhere down the line.

We can’t expect any latest announcement on the making of Sherlock Season 5 considering the global crisis due to coronavirus pandemic. Thus, we need to wait for the sun to rise.
