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.
Of course I would watch another season. Matter of fact you can draw similarities between Sherlock’s personality and Sheldon’s personality from Big Bang. Only Sherlock is completely serious where Sheldon is silly. I love Elementary the cast works excellently together.
This show is absolutely wonderful ,,, it’s very interesting watching the story unfold , and the way Sherlock Holmes contemplates every detail to figure out what happened to solve the crime….. GREAT SHOW
Keep the show and have it linked to Blue Bloods
The show has been very amusing to watch in relation to the real story characters of “Sherlock Holmes”. I know there have been several renditions of Sir Doyle’s wonderful stories, but I do really enjoy the “odd and funny” relationship between these two characters. They are complete opposites but work together so well, and I would watch a new Season 6 of Elementary any night of the week!
So far I have watched 91 episodes,guess you can say I am a fan. Love the show.
Dear CBS,after reading almost all the reply comments,people are universally saying, “IF” there is a viewership problem,it is because the show quite frankly is getting screwed because of the Sun time slot having to compete with all the sporting events. Not fair for such a quality show.Please consider changing to another night…..and watch the viewership rise.I agree with 1 persons comment about having done this same thing with The Mentalist. People these days are media savvy. CHANGE the time slot, PLEASE!
Love,love,love this show! We absolutely will continue with it,for as long as CBS has the wisdom to keep it going(on CBS). It’s intelligent,little different,and I am sure has a great international following.Looking forward to Season 6. Will that be Sept,do you think? I heard them referred to as mid-season renewal(like Code Black).What does that mean?
Glad it was renewed!! Best “intelligent” show ever!
Glad it was renewed.
Always tape it.
I’m glad this was renewed. I wish they would give it a better time slot and promote it more. On Sunday night it was often delayed and sometimes by as much as an hour.
Elementary is a phenomenal show! The dialogue is riveting and I personally have learned so much from watching. The acting is superb. It is intelligent entertainment and not senseless drama as is the case with the show Scorpion. I think marketing the show needs to be amped up and give it a better airing time.
Great show with interesting and obscure cases. Will definitely continue watch!!
I will continue to watch Elementary. I think it’s intelligent and entertaining.
I will definitely keep watching. Intelligent writing, and good acting. Wish CBS would promote it more.
One of the best things on Television. Well written and well acted, but very poorly promoted. Perhaps it would be better on Netflix?
