And they asked about Sherlock 5, too! I hate they are releasing this clickbait bits designed to go viral but they barely mention the film he is promoting! I hope they at least asked for TPOTD.

He has memorized what to say when asked about Sherlock, and he will keep repeating it. We know he’s good at keeping secrets. Until he and Martin and Mofftiss give us a definite “no”, I will keep hoping!

A theatrical release would be very nice! I keep hoping, too, but the cynic in me says we’re done. 😕

If he can find the time to do another superhero movie, he can find the time to do more Sherlock!

You would think the Beeb would want a nice influx of cash from Sherlock. It’s still popular, even though a portion of the fans are still upset about series 4.
Where would you like to see it go, if they were to continue?

To me, it's not really a matter of whether BC can schedule Sherlock into his life, or if the BBC could make money off of it - I think it's not being talked about or planned because the people behind the show really DON'T WANT TO DO IT!
And I truly believe this is because of what the overly loud, destructive faction did in their "woke" campaign to trash the series and the creatives.
I'm betting it soured everyone who was run through the social media grinder in the name of fan entitlement. Why would any creative (or anyone else associated with the show, for that matter) put themselves through THAT sort of nightmare again (petitions to get MG removed from charity boards, accusations that the BBC supported "queerbaiting", harassment on the internet of people like Arwel Jones, etc.)? And of course the clickbait media went along with the SJW campaign to trash the fourth series with all sorts of stories about how the show had fallen into complete degradation and disappointment, and how angry the fan base was at the "destruction" of their beloved show!
I'd say that any hope of a relatively quick revival of the series was quashed after all the bitter #norbury types had the run of the internet.
The main drivers of the show had the ability and means to move on to other endeavours and so they did! I for one couldn't blame them!
I figure it will be about 10 years after the show was ended before they would even consider putting together a "reunion" endeavour - so I guess by my calculations we've got about 6 more years of waiting to do. By then I can see a one off movie, but not another "season".
And I'm perfectly fine with that.
Honestly, with BC, being as talented and versatile as he is, I think it would be detrimental to his career to get "stuck" in a Sherlock rut. Just like I hope he doesn't do anymore Marvel movies.
The only thing I would maybe like to see him "revive" of that ilk, is Khan - for one more kick at that Star Trek can. Because I think there is a legitimate story in that sleep chamber! But if that doesn't happen, then I'm okay with that too.

While I loved Sherlock I’m not sure I want it to return. Because so often when much loved shows are revived the result is disappointing. I would rather be left wanting more than getting it and wishing I hadn’t.

I would rather be left wanting more than getting it and wishing I hadn’t. That’s why I think they should return! So many old shows are getting revived lately that don’t even deserve it, so why not continue with a show that was actually liked? It doesn’t have to be soon, just eventually. We always have to wait ages for a new season anyway, so this is nothing new! And we need to remember that those insane fans who flipped out over S4 did not speak for the majority of viewers. I can’t imagine Mofftiss paying attention to any of that nonsense or making decisions based on what those crazies say. And don’t forget that Sherlock has been a worldwide success and is not being watched only by demanding, entitled lunatics. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - even the “worst” Sherlock episode is far superior to anything else on tv. I have spent so much time (too much time) watching tv this year, and there have been shows/movies I’ve enjoyed - although not many. I’ve also seen a lot of twitter comments this year from people just discovering Sherlock on Netflix for the first time, because they’re run out of stuff to watch. They can’t believe they had missed out on it for this long.

I also wonder how much stock creatives put into “feedback” off Twitter. There’s always going to be hate and division, but to let it affect what you’re going to create seems self defeating. Those ex-fans proved they were pretty much in it for the identity politics anyway and not for the basic fun of the show as it was written.
Personally, I think they took Sherlock just about as far as they could. We have his origins, Moriarty, other random villains, atmospheric England, the Baker Street irregulars, etc. Outside of a wedding between Sherlock and Molly (😉) and them raising Rosie, where can they go? 🤷🏻♀️
Of course, I’d watch an hour and a half of Sherlock sleeping, but I have few demands, lol.

I think if they did write a new series to please Twitter the plot would have to be Sherlock marries John and they raise Rosie together but he also finds himself attracted to Molly so he gets together with her too and they have kids of their own. John and Molly are ok with this and they all live together in Baker street with Mrs Hudson. They all find themselves also attracted to Lestrade so he pops by every so often for a bit of an orgy. Sherlock has no time to solve crime anymore because he’s too busy with all the child rearing and all the sex as everyone want’s a “go” with him. Hence one of the eposodes will be of him just sleeping as he’s crashed out through exhaustion. So that’s you and the rest of the interned catered for then QZ. 😀
