The game is afoot once more. Today, CBS announced they’ve renewed Elementary for a fifth season, which will air during the 2016-2017 season.
A modern update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic Sherlock Holmes stories, Elementary stars Jonny Lee Miller as Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson. The drama also stars Aidan Quinn and Jon Michael Hill.
Currently in its fourth season, Elementary has seen some change this year. Recently, CBS moved the series from its usual Thursday timeslot to Sundays. The move doesn’t seem to have made a noticeable difference in the ratings. So far, this season has dipped by about 20%, with a 1.03 rating in the 18-49 demo and around 5.79 million viewers.
Today, the network announced 2016-17 season renewals of 10 other shows as well — 2 Broke Girls, The Amazing Race, Blue Bloods, Hawaii Five-0, Madam Secretary, Mom, NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, Scorpion, and Survivor.
What do you think? Do you watch Elementary? Are you glad it’s been renewed or do you think the show is losing steam?
I think it is one of the best three shows on the air!
I think it is the best show on tv
I love the show, but Jonny Miller talks too fast and his accent makes it difficult to follow the plot, not all British accents are like that. I happen to love British accents, he just needs to slow down a bit, but I like his acting and the interaction between him and Lucy Lui
I just learned of the show and LOVE IT!!!! i AM CATCHING UP WITH OLD EPISODES AND HAVE MY DVR SET!
Love the show…just wish they would do something to Sherlocks voice so we can understand him better!
My favorite show-Yes yes renew
Can’t believe CVS even thought of cancelling this show. I even watch all the reruns since there is nothing else worthwhile. Thanks for coming around.
Such a smart show. Completely excited to see the 2016 season. Love the cast, the effort ( successful ) to stay close to Conon Doyle’s intentions, and the complex and entertaining storytelling. Can’t wait : }
It is nice to see the powers that be have left me at least 1 show I really like!
I love the show. So glad it was renewed.
My husband & I love this show. Great stories, acting & character development.
I discovered Elementary earlier this year. Love the show. I don’t watch much tv but am hooked on this one. I bought the first three seasons shows on DVD. Will buy the 4th soon. Glad to read the program will have a 5th season. Kudos to Homes, Watson and all. Thank You
I am truly happy that my favorite show has been renewed. I really enjoy this different spin on the series, making Watson a woman. I’m waiting on a love connection between the two.
We love this show and we do not watch much television. Please keep it going going and going
I love this series and am thrilled it has been renewed.
