Whether Sherlock season 5 will happen is difficult to say, but Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman returning for at least one more season is what the show needs after a disappointing ending. Any updates on Sherlock season 5 must be received with caution since Arthur Conan O'Doyle's modern adaptation has yet to see any official announcement regarding a new season or special. While some are relieved that BBC's Sherlock might never be revived, assuming that season 5 will go ahead in the future, Sherlock deserves one final 'hurrah' after the disappointing ending that was season 4.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman's Sherlockquickly became a sensation. The series was also nominated for multiple awards, including the Golden Globe for Best Performance and numerous Primetime Emmy Awards. Be that as it may, season 4 is frequently ranked the worst of Sherlock's four seasons because of a number of problematic plot devices and many failed character arcs.
