Sherlock Season 5: Will Louise Brealey return? Release possible in 2022

Since Sherlock Season 4 dropped its finale on January 15, 2017, fans are ardently looking forward to the airing of Season 5. However, the fifth season is yet to receive official renewal update from BBC One.

Sherlock Season 5 is actually not cancelled and there is a big chance of making it. However, we can’t see any possibility for the series to be out in this year. According to The Digital Weekly, Sherlock Season 5 will be released in 2022 after completing all major projects. Many series enthusiasts are saying BBC One certainly does not want to take away Sherlock due to other projects. If luck favours, it will return in 2022 with the main stars and their two co-stars.

Many fans consider that Sherlock Season 5 won’t be renewed. Let us remind you that the way the previous season ended with cliffhangers, the creators will have to work on it for one more season at least.

The next season will be drawing a conclusion to The Walking Dead actress Eleanor Matsuura's character Detective Inspector Stella Hopkins. She was introduced in Season 4's premiere episode titled 'The Six Thatchers'. She was seen visiting Baker Street apartment and sending a notion to assist Sherlock, the character always played by Benedict Cumberbatch. But after that, as she was not invited, there surely lies a gap in the plot which makes a sensible chance for her in the series.

A few months back Digital Spy reported about the presence of The Widow-actress Louise Brealey in the Sherlock Season 5 that will show Benedict Cumberbatch in the protagonist's role. The 40-year old actress, Louise Brealey is best known for playing Molly Hooper in Sherlock.

Louise Brealey has dropped a hint during a conversation with Radio Times about her hope of returning to Sherlock Season 5. "I know originally there was a hope that we would do a special down the line. I haven't heard that that's on or off. To utilise two clichés, I think it's on the very back burner and not necessarily on the cards," she said. Although the making of a special episode has created a rumour, Brealey said that she didn't hear about it.

Sherlock Season 5 is likely to be out in 2022. Stay tuned to Devdiscourse to get the latest updates on the television series.
