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?
This show is the way TV needs to go! It has the perfect amount of humor, action, and is so intellectual to boot! Love it and can’t believe this series has not been nominated for any awards as well as Emmys for Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu. Keep it on for every season in the future.
We love Elementary!!! So happy to see it is renewed for 5th season ! It us our favorite show on tv…. Love all the characters. Jonny & Lucy are fabulous together!!
absolutely fabulous…intelligent tv yay
I love elementary. Hate that they moved it. Thinking person’s show.
Elementary is great! The cast is terrific and each episode is interesting.
CBS has a bad habit of keeping stupid shows, and cancelling good one. I’m glad they kept elementary. My guess is they plan to pack the story’s with more gays and blacks and some Nagative anti concervative message. Maybe hillary well guest. Nit wits
Very interesting show, Its nice when a show makes you think and the plot keeps you guessing. I think a quirky love interest for Sherlock would add to show’s appeal (at least for me). Also, some ever present villain would maybe add interest (like in the Mentalist).
Yes!!! I’ve been on pins and needles waiting for the news!
I am glad this show has been renewed! I think this show is very refreshing, using brains rather than violence to solve crimes.
Great that another season is afoot; try visiting other US and GB and European cities, for a several episode thread
I am glad It was renewed!
I love this show …It doesn’t insult my intelligence
So glad. Intelligent, sardonic, and Lucy Liu is a gifted actress: her Joan Watson is better than Martin Freeman’s John Watson. She has more to do, and a bigger range. The camera work makes New York look interesting, and the costume designer deserves an award.
CBS , made the right move. We are thrilled. All I would add is a villain. Sherlock does not need a love interest. He must battle wits with someone as clever and cunning as he is and heartless, someone that pushes him over the edge and makes him earn best sleuth of all time. The writing has become to predictive, but I love Miller, awesome as Holmes.
I’m thrilled this show has been renewed! I would miss it!
