9 Questions We Have After The Sherlock Season 4 Finale

1) Will Sherlock Return?

Mary’s posthumous monologue to Sherlock and John ends the finale with a touching speech about how their adventures will continue forever – the implication is that, even if Cumberbatch and Freeman don’t return to these roles again, there will always be stories about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.

But will there be more Sherlock? Going by comments from the writers and the stars (or even dubious tabloid rumours), it seems that genuinely no one knows for sure as it all depends on whether they can all make time for another season. Perhaps a better question, then, would be if Sherlock should come back. After all, now that his past has been unearthed and his journey from high-functioning sociopath to hero is pretty much complete, is there even any story left to tell?

The show’s worldwide fanbase will certainly be hoping so, but for now, it looks like we’ll just have to wait and see.
