This isn't the first time Gatiss has expressed his desire to adapt Sherlock into a movie.

Gatiss emphasized the complexities of filmmaking, drawing parallels to other long-gestating projects like Edgar Wright's Ant-Man.
While fans eagerly await news of a potential Sherlock reunion, Gatiss continues to make waves in the world of television. Recently announced as the writer and star of Bookish, a new British TV drama set in post-war London, Gatiss demonstrates his versatility as a storyteller.
Sherlock, known for its exceptional writing, acting, and directing, received widespread acclaim throughout its run, despite facing criticism in its later seasons. The series garnered numerous award nominations, including Emmys, BAFTAs, and a Golden Globe, with Cumberbatch, Freeman, and Moffat all earning accolades for their contributions.
With thirteen gripping episodes spanning four series and a special episode, Sherlock remains a beloved staple in the realm of television. For fans eager to relive the adventures of the iconic detective duo, the series is currently available for streaming on Hulu.
