BBC has yet to order new episodes of “Sherlock” season 5. But when showrunners Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss were asked if they are on board of doing it, their response would give fans hope.
The chances of seeing “Sherlock” season 5 was once again revived when Moffat and Gatiss both had positive answers when asked about continuing the show with Cumberbatch and Freeman. The series creators are also currently working on the TV series adaptation of “Dracula” for BBC.
In the prospect of having “Sherlock” season 5, Moffat recently told Radio Times, “We’ve never said necessarily goodbye to ‘Sherlock.’” In the same interview, Gatiss also said that working with Moffat at this time brings back some “Sherlock” memories and recalled, “It is actually 10 years since the pilot.”
Gatiss further assured fans they are not closing their doors for “Sherlock” season 5. However, they are not worrying about that nowadays as they focus on the first installment of “Dracula” on TV. “One thing at a time. ‘Dracula’ occupies a lot of headspace,” Gatiss said.
Last month, fans marked the two-year anniversary of the show’s fourth season that ended with a finale titled “The Final Problem.” It is a nod to Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Adventure of the Final Problem” though Moffat and Gatiss incorporated plots from other Sherlock Holmes stories as well. How the episode ended also implied that the stories of Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Watson (Martin Freeman) are not over yet, which adds to the belief that “Sherlock” season 5 could still happen.
Since the end of season 4, Gatiss and Moffat have been optimistic there is a bigger chance for “Sherlock” season 5 to happen than the show being canceled. Last year, Moffat explained to Radio Times, “Nobody has ever closed the door on ‘Sherlock.’ … We haven’t got an immediate plan, but I would remain surprised, given the collective enthusiasm we have for it, if we didn’t do it again. … It’s not the kind of show that has to come back all the time. It can revisit.”
