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.
Fabulous show; VERY HAPPY it has been renewed — too many other insightful shows have been cancelled.
Yes, thank you CBS for renewing Elementary. It is in a difficult time slot because a variety of sports just about always make it run late. I have been programming my DVR to record what comes after to make sure I get all of Elementary. It is truly THE best show on CBS. Well, I like NCIS too but that is another type of show. Thank you!!!
Thanks CBS for listening to your viewers and recognizing how great this show and actors are.
Thanks CBS for renewing Elementary. It is a top notch show and engages the mind by drawing you into solving the crime. Definitely a tip of the hat to Conan Doyle. Thanks you gain.
Thank you for renewing this fantastic program. They have a great cast, great chemistry, & great stories. One of the best shows on TV. The only problem is how hard it is to set the DVR because of the preceding sporting events. I extend Elementary by an hour, just in case.
The Best show on CBS, by far. It appeals to the more intellectual audience than the other run-of-the-mill, simple-minded entertainment the TV like-minded viewing public typically vegetates through. Thank you for renewing!
It should be renewed. Thank You for renewing!
Thanks for renewing!!
Thanks for renewing!@
This show should definitely be renewed.
It should definitely be renewed!!! Agree with others that there needs to be a “fix” so the show doesn’t get moved from time slot to time slot due to CBS’s time run overs from airing of sporting events. GREAT SHOW!!!
Yes. Please renew!
The show should be RENEWED.
The constant changes in the time slot caused by sporting events should be fixed. Having to constantly guess what time the show will air is ridiculous.
Definitely renew!!! This is brillant show with superb story lines, Fantastic writing keeps views coming back time and time to see what’s next. Cancelation would be a huge dissapointment to many household viewers like myself.
To many mistakes in programming! It make a fortune on Hulu , Xbox , and many other apps. Plus Netflix and from there it will people go to these apps’!!!!!
