Will Elementary return for season six? The CBS series is nearing the end of its fifth season and has not been renewed. What do you think? Should the TV show be cancelled or renewed for another season?
The drama follows eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Doctor Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) as they help solve crimes in modern-day New York. The cast also includes Aidan Quinn and Jon Michael Hill.
Given ratings alone, a renewal for Elementary looks uncertain. Currently, season five is averaging a 0.67 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 4.975 million viewers — low numbers for CBS. However, despite the poor ratings, Deadline reports a season six renewal seems likely.
First, Elementary is completely owned by CBS, making a renewal easier and more profitable for the network. Additionally, the series has lucrative off-network and SVOD deals with WGN America and Hulu Plus that bring in “as much as $3 million total per episode.”
Are you a fan of Elementary? Do you think the show has run its course? Would you watch a sixth season? Please take the poll and tell us what you think.

PS: and I have seen many
I love Elementary. Sherlock Holmes is my favorite character of all times and Johnny Miller bring a new twist to Sherlock’s personality. Way to go CBS.
Love this show! Look forward to new season starting soon!!! For now I’m happy watching the past episodes. Thank you for renewing, please don’t stop any time soon.
Yes, good show!
I would watch another season.
We will definitely be watching Elementary! It’s one of our favorite shows.
I would ABSOLUTELY watch a six (and seventh and eighth, etc.) season of Elementary! PLEASE put it back on CBS.
My husband and I are looking forward to the return of Elementary for a
6th season. Wish it could have been last fall. We have really enjoyed the
show and the characters and watched every episode.
My husband and I love this show!!
It has been my favorite show since its inception. I love the acting, the dialogue, the intellectual approach. Then again, I have loved the original Sherlock Holmes books. I realize it’s about the perfect time slot. But I do so hope this gets worked out.
Please don’t cancel Elementary! It is a great show and I look forward to the new season.
Great show, please keep it going!
I absolutely would watch, love this show. I even watch the reruns on other channels. I need my Elementary fix, NOW
Hope to see next season soon. The way cbs has totally messed with the show and moved it around has hurt it. I only hope some one else will produce more episodes, maybe WGN or Turner some one with good taste
Love the show. looking forward to season six. lets go CBS, tired of my
favorite shows being cancelled.
Love the program. Would watch it for several seasons more as long as there are no major cast changes.
