‘Sherlock’ Producers Say Benedict Cumberbatch Likely to Return to the Role

Benedict Cumberbatch‘s Sherlock could be about to dust off his magnifying glass. Sue Vertue, who produced the beloved BBC reimagining of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes detective stories, has said the brand is likely to return. “We love that show and there is a future for it. One day. Maybe. If everyone wants to do it,” Vertue told Deadline on the blue carpet at the Amazon Prime Video Trailblazers event in London.

“I’ve still got the set in storage somewhere, which is probably rotten, to be honest with you,” she added. “It’s just getting everybody aligned, it’s getting the actors to want to do it.” Cumberbatch starred in the series alongside Martin Freeman‘s John Watson. They were last together on screen in 2017, with their final mystery titled The Final Problem.
