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.”

RENEW Elementary
Renewing is a must!
Please keep the show. It is a great one. Plots are good, actings are better.
I really enjoy the show and watch every week. Please renew.
Love the show. One of the few best on tv. It’s hardly on since moved to Sunday night. Maybe that is why the ratings are so low. How about back to Thursday or Wednesday nights? Wouldn’t hurt to try.
Please keep this show we love it.
Love this show! Never miss it! Renew!
I’m loving the show!! Lucy Liu and Johnny Lee Miller make such a great pair.
Love this show!
My favorite, wish it was two hours long!
Keep ingoing – we look forward to every episode.
Beset , inventive show on Tv. Crazy to even consider not renewing! Wife and I both agree it is one if not best, most creative there is!
Intelligent show and a strong female lead, so naturally it will be cancelled while garbage like “Two Broke Girls” and “Kevin Can Wait” continue to prosper.
Love this show. It is soo rare to find a who done it that is written this well. I think they should have left the show at the original time and day slot, but I am still watching along with my husband. Please do not touch this show.
I consider Elementary thoughtful, well written and well after. It’s loss, to me, would be considerable.
