Sherlock co-creator Steven Moffat continues to fuel excitement for season 5 of the acclaimed BBC crime drama. The beloved modern adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic detective stories, Sherlock ran from 2010 to 2017 and featured Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr. John Watson. Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, the show brought the famous sleuth into the 21st century, bringing humor and thrilling drama to its intricate mysteries. With the last episode airing seven years ago, however, demand remains for Sherlock season 5 as there hasn't been any progress.

In an interview with SFX, Moffat discussed the prospects of Sherlock season 5, following producer Sue Vertue’s recent comments on the award-winning series’ potential revival. He emphasized that while no concrete plans are in place, he and Gatiss remain enthusiastic about the idea of revisiting the show with season 5. The creator even suggested visiting an older version of Sherlock and John.
