During an interview with Collider at the International Global Series Festival, Mark addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding the show’s potential revival. He confirmed that this chapter is definitively closed.

When asked about the possibility of a revival, Gatiss firmly replied, “No.” He elaborated, explaining that the original series struck the right balance with its exceptional cast and storytelling. “What would be the point? You’d just be doing it again,” he clarified.

Sherlock premiered in 2010, quickly becoming a cultural touchstone, reinventing Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic character for modern audiences. The series, featuring Benedict’s enigmatic Sherlock and Martin’s empathetic Dr. Watson, ran for four seasons and one Christmas special, captivating viewers worldwide.

Despite its acclaim and devoted following, the last episode aired in 2017, and rumors of a revival have recently died down with Gatiss’s announcement.

Looking to the future, Gatiss expressed a desire to focus on new projects, such as his upcoming endeavor, Bookish. “It’s great to tip your hat to what a wonderful thing it was, but also it’s lovely to move forward,” he stated.

For fans hoping to see another episode at 221B Baker Street, Mark’s words indicate that it’s time to close the book on this series. Acceptance seems necessary as he has come to terms with this decision.
