The BBC Sherlock show starring Benedict Cumberb✱atch and Martin Freeman could make a comeback someday, producer Sue Vertue has teܫased. 

The show ran for four seasons and a Christmas Special, wrapping up in 2017. Alongside Cumberbatch as Sherlock and Freeman as John Watson, Mark Gatiss, Andrew Scott, and Amanda ♚Abbington hadℱ roles in the show as Mycroft Holmes, James Moriarty, and Mary Watson, respectively. 

. "It's just getting everybody aligned, it's getting the actors to want to do it."

"We love that show and there is a futureℱ for it. One day. Maybe. If everyone wants to do it," she added.

Gatiss, who co-created the show with Steven Moffat, has previously teased that a movie could happen some🉐day. "We'd like to make a film but trying to get everyone together is very difficult," Gatiss commented to , adding: "You'll have to ask Benedict [Cumberbatch] and Martin [Freeman]."

While seasons 1-3 of the BBC show were very well received b🉐y critics, the Christmas Special and season 4 debuted to a more mixed reception.

Still, the show was a cultural phenomenon while it was airing, with a seriously committed fanbase – and the dramatic season 2 finale hဣad everyone speculating throughout the long wait for answers (though, what really happened was never conclusively explained).
