00:00Okay, listen closely, because I don't think people are talking about this enough.
00:04You ever finish a show and just know deep in your bones it needs another season?
00:08Not just because it was good, but because it left you wanting more in the most maddening way possible?
00:13That's exactly how I felt watching the last scene of Sherlock and Daughter.
00:17And if you watched it too, I know you felt it.
00:20That moment.
00:21The silence.
00:22The mystery.
00:23That tiny detail in the background that told you it's not over.
00:27Now here's the wild part.
00:28Even though the season wrapped up the Big Red Thread storyline, and even though it felt like closure, it wasn't.
00:34Not really.
00:35Not when you zoom in.
00:37Not when you sit with it.
00:38Not when you remember that shot of the broken panel in the ambassador's estate.
00:42I mean come on.
00:43If you didn't yell at the screen in that moment, I don't know how you stayed so calm.
00:48Because Dan Moriarty is still out there.
00:50And you don't just leave a Moriarty out there unless you're setting something big up.
00:54So let's talk about it.
00:55Let's break down everything we know everything that points to season 2 happening.
01:00From the ratings, to the cast, to the clues hiding in plain sight, and why, honestly, if the CW doesn't
01:06renew this, it might be one of the biggest mistakes they've made in a long time.
01:10First off let me just say this.
01:13Sherlock and Daughter could have been a disaster.
01:15No joke?
01:16Like, on paper?
01:17A modern twist on Sherlock Holmes, but this time with a secret daughter from America?
01:22It sounds like fan fiction you find on a random message board at 3am.
01:27But the way they pulled it off?
01:28The tone, the writing, the acting it just works.
01:32It's gritty, it's smart, and most importantly it has heart.
01:35And that's rare.
01:36David Thewlis absolutely disappears into the role.
01:39He's not trying to copy Cumberbatch our go-full action hero like Robert Downey Jr.
01:44He plays Sherlock like a man who's tired, like he's been running from something his whole life and finally has
01:49to face it.
01:50And Blue Hunt?
01:51Wow.
01:52Her performance as Amelia feels so real.
01:54She's not just tagging along.
01:56She's pushing back.
01:58She challenges him.
01:59She makes him human.
02:01Their chemistry carries the show, and you feel it every single time they're on screen together.
02:05Now here's where it gets interesting.
02:07Because we're not just talking emotions we're talking numbers.
02:11Facts.
02:11Hard proof that this show deserves another season.
02:14Ratings wise?
02:15It crushed expectations.
02:17And not just on The CW, which let's be real has been all over the place lately.
02:22But this show found a second life on streaming.
02:24On Max, it hit top 10 consistently.
02:27That's not easy.
02:28Especially for a show that's not packed with explosions or CGI or superheroes.
02:33It's a slow burn mystery drama and people are binging it.
02:36That tells you something.
02:38And don't even get me started on the international side.
02:41Italy.
02:41Canada.
02:42Switzerland.
02:43Greece.
02:44All buying up the broadcast rights.
02:46That doesn't happen unless networks believe it's got staying power.
02:50That kind of momentum doesn't just appear it grows.
02:53And Sherlock and Daughter is growing.
02:55People are talking.
02:56Slowly, quietly, but steadily.
02:59Like any good mystery it builds.
03:01But let's be honest.
03:02The CW is in a weird place right now.
03:05Some of their best shows Walker, Riverdale, Homecoming they got the axe even when their
03:10numbers were decent.
03:11They're shifting toward cheaper, easier to produce content.
03:14And Sherlock and Daughter with its period setting, costumes, international cast it's not cheap.
03:20So yeah.
03:21That's the scary part.
03:22The truth is, it's not confirmed.
03:25There's no green light.
03:26No official season 2 announcement.
03:28And if you're like me, that makes you a little sick to your stomach.
03:32Because there's just so much more story to tell.
03:35Remember how season 1 ended?
03:36Amelia traps Dan Moriarty behind that secret wall, believing he'd run out of air before anyone
03:42found him.
03:43But that final shot those broken panels it wasn't just for drama.
03:46That was a signal.
03:48A flag.
03:49A big neon sign saying, he's not gone.
03:52Dan Moriarty is alive.
03:54And he's out there.
03:55Planning.
03:56Waiting.
03:57Just like his father.
03:58And speaking of his father, Moriarty Sr. is still in custody, but how long can that
04:03last?
04:03This is Sherlock Holmes' greatest enemy.
04:06You don't lock him up and throw away the key.
04:08You lock him up, and then wait for the escape.
04:11The comeback.
04:12The revenge.
04:13So what could season 2 even look like?
04:15Let me paint the picture.
04:17Amelia is stepping into the Watson role officially.
04:20No more sneaking around.
04:21She's the partner now.
04:23But unlike Watson, she's got a secret no one can know she's Holmes' daughter.
04:27And that's a bomb waiting to explode.
04:29Every episode could be a tightrope walk solving crimes while keeping that truth buried.
04:34And then there's the Andersons.
04:35If you forgot Sherlock and Ambassador Anderson struck a deal.
04:39They protect each other's daughters.
04:41That adds layers.
04:42Because now, it's not just about solving mysteries it's about politics, power, and
04:47keeping reputations clean.
04:49You've got Clara and Amelia building a friendship, but what happens when that friendship is tested
04:54by secrets?
04:54What happens when the next case points straight to the Andersons?
04:58And let's talk villains.
05:00Because this is where the show really has potential.
05:02The red thread might be done, but criminal networks don't just disappear.
05:07They regroup.
05:08They rebrand.
05:09And with Dan Moriarty free, season 2 could explore a whole new web of enemies.
05:14Maybe he starts his own version of the red thread.
05:16Maybe he builds something darker.
05:18Bigger.
05:19Smarter.
05:20Honestly?
05:21It reminds me of early Sherlock BBC.
05:24Back when you didn't know what was coming next, but you felt like it was going to be
05:27massive.
05:28That's where Sherlock and Daughter is sitting right now.
05:31On the edge.
05:32The edge of something big.
05:34And if they bring back the original cast?
05:36That's the secret weapon.
05:38David Thewlis and Blue Hunt are electric together.
05:40But do Gray Scott as Moriarty?
05:42That man was born to play a villain.
05:45Cold, calculating, but not over the top.
05:48And Joe Klosik as Dan?
05:49He brings this creepy charm that makes you uncomfortable every time he smiles.
05:53You want to trust him, but you know you shouldn't.
05:56But let me break this down real simple.
05:58If the CW is listening and honestly, they should be here's why you bring this show back.
06:031.
06:04It's getting attention organically.
06:06No massive promo.
06:07No celebrity hype.
06:08Just good writing and word of mouth.
06:102.
06:11The story's not done.
06:12The ending literally left the door open and broken.
06:153.
06:16This show makes people feel something.
06:18It's not just about solving mysteries.
06:20It's about broken relationships.
06:23Trust.
06:23Legacy.
06:25The fear of becoming like your parents.
06:27The fear of being seen.
06:28That's what sticks.
06:30And 4.
06:31We need more stories like this.
06:33Stories that aren't just loud, but smart.
06:35Stories that give us space to think, guess, feel, and connect.
06:39So if you're watching this right now and thinking, yeah.
06:43I want season 2, then say it.
06:45Don't stay quiet.
06:46Drop a comment.
06:48Tell the CW.
06:49Tag Max.
06:50Share this with your group chat.
06:52Tweet it.
06:53Post it.
06:54Let them hear us.
06:55Let them know we're not done.
06:57Because here's the thing.
06:58Shows like Sherlock and Daughter don't come around often.
07:01And when they do.
07:02We have to fight for them.
07:04We have to show up.
07:05Because if we don't if we just move on then we're telling the networks it doesn't matter.
07:09That we don't care.
07:11And that's not true.
07:12I care.
07:13You care.
07:14I see the posts.
07:15I read the theories.
07:17I know I'm not alone.
07:18So let's be loud.
07:20Let's make sure they hear us.
07:21Before I go, let me say this one last thing.
07:25Sometimes, the stories that stay with us aren't the ones with big endings.
07:29Sometimes, it's the ones with open endings.
07:32Unfinished chapters.
07:33Characters still walking in the dark.
07:35Because those stories feel real.
07:37Just like life.
07:39And that's exactly why we need Sherlock and Daughter Season 2.

07:54And if you want more deep dives like this more real talk about the shows that actually matter than stick
07:59around.
08:00We're just getting started.
08:01And hey, before you scroll away think about this.
08:04What if this is the kind of show that grows after the first season?
08:08What if Season 2 is where it really takes off?
08:10We've seen it happen before.
08:12Slow burn shows that explode once people finally catch on.
08:15But that only happens if we speak up now.
08:18If we wait too long, it could disappear like so many other hidden gems.
08:22So don't be silent.
08:24Drop your favorite moment in the comments.
08:26Tell me what shocked you most.
08:28And together, maybe just maybe we can help bring Sherlock and Daughter back where it belongs.
08:33We'll see.
08:33Whatever you want.
08:40What if?
