Sherlock Season 5 possibilities revealed, Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman’s roles discussed

Sherlock Season 5 is yet to receive official renewal update from BBC One. All the four seasons of the popular British crime drama television series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman won millions of hearts across the globe. Thus, fans are passionately waiting for the fifth season.

Sherlock Season 5 is one of the most anticipated television series fans have been waiting for a long time. Ending the show without showing the conclusions or solving the previous cliffhangers will be like breaking the hearts of many.

Unfortunately, Sherlock Season 5 will not be released in 2020. One major reason is the global health condition. The outbreak of coronavirus has shattered the global entertainment industry and brought it to a standstill. The majority of the television and movie projects have been stopped or postponed for indefinite time period.

Sherlock Season 5 has several possibilities to return on the small screens. Some time back, the series creator Steven Moffat stated that it is unlikely for the show to disappear entirely. The same thing was repeated by another series creator Mark Gatiss in a media conversation.

The lead actor Benedict Cumberbatch earlier denied all rumors surrounding his discontinuation including the series' discontinuation. "Nobody has ever closed the door on Sherlock," he said. In a recent interview of Martin Freeman by Collider, he said that "not only he, but Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat are super busy and that's the reason they do not want to run the risk of ruining the show's legacy by producing a subpar season. Indirectly, he had given a hint for the making of Season 5."

Sherlock Season 5 will feature the altered lives of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman's popular characters, Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson – this was earlier revealed by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. Even earlier reports claimed that both would be seen solving the cases and fighting criminals again in the imminent season. There is another strong reason why the series will come back.

Martin Freeman had a conversation with Collider for his imminent movie Ode to Joy. The journalist he questioned him about the possibility of Sherlock Season 5. The 47-year-old actor opined that not only he, but Benedict Cumberbatch, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss are super busy and that's the reason they do not want to run the risk of ruining the show's legacy by producing a subpar season.

Sherlock Season 5 doesn’t have an official release date. Stay tuned to Devdiscourse to get the latest updates on the television series.
