After seven seasons, Elementary is coming to a close, but what is in store for CBS’ Sherlock Holmes? Elementary aired on CBS in 2012, a contemporary version of the world’s most famous investigator, Sherlock Holmes. Unlike the BBC original, this series was set in New York City and John Watson was replaced by Dr. Joan Watson (Lucy Liu). In this post, you will read about if Elementary Season 8 is going to release or not, and other details.
Sherlock Holmes, played by Jonny Lee Miller in Elementary, has recovered from drug addiction and is now a consulting investigator with the New York City Police Department. It was Holmes’ father who recruited Joan Watson as a sober companion, and she became his apprentice, albeit taking her own cases from time to time.

Mycroft Holmes, Ms. Hudson, and Jamie Moriarty were all featured in Elementary’s seven seasons, along with a slew of other Holmes characters (female version of his archenemy James Moriarty).
Miller’s portrayal of Sherlock is already the most prominent in film and television, with more than 150 appearances to date, but he won’t be around for much longer. Until the end of the season, here’s what’s going on with Sherlock and Watson on Elementary.
Elementary Season 8: Is Not Happening?
Elementary, one of the most popular television shows of all time, has reached the end of its run. It’s too late for CBS to change its mind or for another network (or streaming service) to pick it up. Ratings have been declining for a few seasons now, and with the contracts of the main stars reportedly coming to an end, the series has been preparing the ground for its final episodes for some time now.
Lucy Liu, on the other hand, has a full plate, making an elementary season 8 tough even if the network wanted it. Jonny Lee Miller, on the other hand, has nothing planned (yet). The final episode of Elementary, which will be broadcast on CBS All Access the same day it wraps up production, will include her in a new CBS series called Why Women Kill.

Elementary Season 8 Cast
There is no going to be Elementary Season 8, so you can read about the season 7 cast:
Jonny Lee Miller As Sherlock Holmes
After completing drug rehab, Holmes, a former Scotland Yard consultant, now resides in New York City. With a wide range of interests and passions, he is an expert at logical reasoning. He chooses to remain in New York City because he believes the country’s criminal cases are more interesting.
He re-establishes contact with an old NYPD colleague, Captain Thomas Gregson, to work as a consulting detective once more. Aftercare services are provided to him by Dr. Joan Watson, his “sober companion.”
Lucy Liu As Dr. Joan Watson
When she unintentionally nicked a patient’s vena cava during surgery and he bled to death in seconds, Joan gave up her medical career. Holmes’ sober partner, Joan, had previously worked as a successful physician.
As a sober companion hired by Holmes’ father, she helps him maintain his sobriety following his release from rehabilitation. After her contract is over, she continues to work after telling Sherlock that his daddy had stayed to use her services.
Other Members
- Aidan Quinn as Captain Thomas “Tommy” Gregson
- Jon Michael Hill as Detective First Grade

Elementary Season 7: Is It The Final Season?
Season 7 of Elementary, which aired for the first time in December of last year, will be the series’ final season, consisting of just 13 episodes. However, CBS decided to buy eight further episodes and extend the series for a shorter and final season in Season 6, which featured only 13 episodes.

A definite end could have been reached with the season 6 finale, but instead of doing so, ABC decided to give the writers one more shot at wrapping up their stories and character arcs properly. Judging from “Their Last Bow,” it appears that the show will get the proper sendoff it deserves, with plenty of nods to the original source material.
