(CBS)
Set your ratings-based deductions aside. The Elementary TV show has been renewed for season six on on CBS. The modern-day Sherlock Holmes TV series adaptation has evaded the Television Vulture, for yet another season.
Set in New York City, Elementary follows detective Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Dr. Joan Watson (Lucy Liu). The CBS cast also includes Aidan Quinn as Captain Thomas Gregson and Jon Michael Hill as Detective Marcus Bell. Together, they investigate the Big Apple’s trickiest cases.
In mid-April, we polled our readers and asked if they would watch a sixth season of Elementary. As of drafting this article, 87% said they would, while 4% voted “no,” and 9% gave it a “maybe.” What do you say? The poll is still open. Vote now.

Very glad that Elementary has been renewed. Great chemistry between the lead characters. Great supporting cast. Hope to watch Elementary for many years to come!
Elementary is a great show. I am very happy that they renewed it. I would like to see more Moriarty though. She had been an excellent reinterpretation of the character as Watson has been.

Definitely glad we will be able to watch another season! This show just keeps on getting better!!!
So glad to see Elementary is renewed! I’m sure the late Sunday night time slot has affected the ratings – especially when an afternoon sports program goes over it’s time slot then of course Elementary is bumped to a later time.
Love Elementary!Yessssss!
Thank you for renewing Elementary! Looking forward to Season 6!
One thing in favor of Elementary is that the show does well overseas, better than it does at home.
