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.”

Keeper the show for 6 to wind it down right
Love the show and would definitely watch a Season 6.
This is one of the smartest series offered and I would hate to see it cancelled.
Please renew – good plots, good actors, good writing – interesting!
Renewed
I am hoping this show will continue. I read that they are considering Season 6. That would be great. I wish that they would correct the problem of preempting this show’s time slot with sports. You could put this series on a week night and then people could DVR it in the time slot it actually plays in. I plan on purchasing Season 5 when it goes on sale. Plots are so complicated you need to see them several times. I enjoy watching this show because characters are very interesting and police are shown to be very competent and caring.… Read more »
Of course renew it…for so many reasons, it’s ridiculous not to. Add to that, that season five will be a cliffhanger. But, more important, it is one of the finest acted shows on the air. Why Jonny Lee Miller hasn’t received an Emmy yet is beyond reason as well as the rest of the cast. And CBS owns the show outright. So, great series, great plot, great acting AND it makes big bucks for the network. A no-brainer, really. But word on the grapevine is that they are making settlement deals with the writers and CBS is holding off until… Read more »
My wife and I love the show. We have seen all of them. It is intriguing to have a non-predicable detective show, and not too violent so the ‘turn off’ factor is not present as in some shows. Renew it please.
Please renew Elementary.
Please renew Elementary. I love this show. Maybe a different night and time will increase viewers. Often during football and golf season it is on later in the evening or doesn’t air at all.
I love this show. It’s my favorite thing to watch on television. PLEASE renew this show. It’s well written, very well acted, stimulating and inventive. If it didn’t air at 10 o clock on Sunday night, it would very likely have more viewers. Once you watch it you’re a fan.
I feel that Elementary is one of the finest shows on television. If the show was canceled that would surely be a CRIME! The biggest problem with CBS is that they play around with schedules which do not need changing and replace great shows with junk. Moving Elementary to Sunday night is the problem. Not only do people lose track of their favorite shows but, the football, basketball and golf seasons mess with the Sunday schedule so badly that favorite shows are pushed really late or in my area not shown at all. CBS did this with the Mentalist. Wake… Read more »
I think the show is fantastic. They can’t leave us with the cliff hanger from season 5. Sherlock Homes and Dr. Watson are a great team. Bring the back.
Please renew! This is a great refreshing show and I hate for it to be cancelled.
Its one of the cleverest shows out there with every detail thought out and every nuance covered . Renew it , its Elementary !
Please renew. I look forward to this show each week. I don’t watch live due having to care for my mother but I do dvr this show every week. I feel that is were your count is off. People are watching just not live. You must judge shows different now. Our lives our different now. We have to watch TV on our time so we record it. Please leave Elementary on. Thank you
