Crew and cast members of Sherlock reject reported commencement in September.
The Lowdown on Sherlock's Unlikely Comeback
Got your Sherlock Holmes detective deerstalker cap ready for some more exciting adventures? Hold your horses, mate, cause the suspense ain't over yet! The makers behind the phenomenal BBC drama, Sherlock, have put the brakes on those tantalizing whispers about a September 2022 comeback.
Yep, you heard it right. Despite the rumblings stirring up hopes of the iconic sleuth gracing our screens once more, there's no smoking gun to back that up — at least not yet.
Throwing cold water on the flames, Mark Gatiss, the genius behind Sherlock's charismatic scripts and talented acting chops as Mycroft Holmes, dropped the bomb on Twitter: "Heads up, folks, anything online about the September comeback is all hooey. No decision's been made for months yet."
Joining the chorus of mockingbirds, Sue Vertue, the producer who's been as integral to the show's success as Mrs. Hudson in 221B Baker Street, echoed Gatiss' announcement: "You've got it, gang, there's no Sherlock episode slated for September, and we're still in the dark about the air dates, too."
If you're hankering for some Sherlock action, it's best to keep your sights focused on official channels or trustworthy media outlets. But remember, as of now, there's no smoking gun pointing to a repeat of the adventures of Sherlock, John, and the rest of their gang anytime soon.
On a brighter note, while Sherlock takes a break from filming after wrapping up the first two episodes of the upcoming season, there's a glimmer of hope on the horizon: Jones, Watson, and company will be back to tackle the mystery of the Reichenbach Fall at some point in the future.
Speaking of Sherlock revivals, a separate series entitled Sherlock & Daughter emerged on The CW on April 16, 2025. Though this series is unrelated to the BBC's masterpiece, it's a promising indication that the legend of Sherlock Holmes lives on. So, sit tight, sleuth enthusiasts, there's always room for more mystery in the pipeline.
