The producer and director of the show also commented on the current state of “Sherlock”. Steve Moffat stated that he is okay with the show being canceled as he had proven himself already. For those who aren’t familiar, Moffat is also the man responsible for the TV series, Doctor Who.

The viewership for “Sherlock” Season 4 drastically declined, especially with their last 3 episodes. Apparently, they weren’t able to follow up their initial episode and that’s not really new to a TV series.
