Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman Weigh In on a Potential 'Sherlock' Season 5

Mystery series Sherlock basically made a global star out of actor Benedict Cumberbatch, launching him into everything from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Doctor Strange), to the Star Trek franchise (Star Trek Into Darkness), and the Lord of the Rings prequels (The Hobbit trilogy). And while the series hasn't been seen on our screens in several years - the Season 4 finale aired in 2017 and felt a lot like a series finale to many - fans everywhere can't seem to let go of the idea of a return to Baker Street. At least, if the rate at which the actors consistently get asked about it is any indication.

Speaking to Collider about his upcoming espionage thriller The Courier, Cumberbatch was once again questioned on whether we might ever see a fifth season of the popular mystery series.

The actor's reply is kind enough but doesn't offer any real indication that fans should get their hopes up any time soon. (If ever.)
