Talks about a revival of the BBCs Sherlock continue, but the latest update makes me feel relieved that it might never happen.

The state of the rights to Sherlock Holmes has allowed different artists to make changes and adaptations to Holmes and company, such as modernizing them, expanding the Holmes family, and introducing new characters. Among the most successful recent adaptations of the Great Detective is the BBCs Sherlock.
