Mark Gatiss expresses her desire to make a sequel to Sherlock Holmes
Mark Gatiss, co-creator of the hit BBC series Sherlock, recently discussed the possibility of bringing the iconic detective back to the big screen. In an interview, Gatiss expressed his interest in making a feature-length movie continuation of Sherlock Holmes but emphasized that it would depend on the availability of key actors like Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.
The popular series, co-created by Gatiss and Steven Moffat, ran for four seasons and a special episode from 2010 to 2017. Despite its conclusion, fans have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential revival or continuation.
Gatiss revealed that while he and Moffat are open to the idea of a Sherlock Holmes movie, the biggest challenge lies in coordinating the schedules of the cast. He mentioned that getting everyone together for the production would be "very difficult," indicating that the availability of Cumberbatch and Freeman would be crucial in determining the project's feasibility.
The final episode of Sherlock, titled "The Final Problem," left the door slightly ajar for future adventures, showing Sherlock and John embarking on new cases after overcoming various challenges. This open-ended conclusion has fueled speculation about the possibility of a movie continuation.
Although Moffat has expressed his willingness to return alongside series producer Sue Vertue, certain logistical challenges remain. Gatiss acknowledged the absence of Una Stubbs, who portrayed Mrs. Hudson and passed away in 2021, as a significant factor in any potential revival.
Despite the complexities involved, Gatiss and Moffat remain optimistic about the prospect of bringing Sherlock Holmes back to the screen. With the enduring popularity of the series and the enthusiasm of fans, there is hope that Sherlock's detective work may continue in the form of a movie.
Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts can currently stream the series on platforms like BritBox and Hulu, immersing themselves in the modern retelling of Arthur Conan Doyle's classic tales of mystery and deduction.
