The crime drama series "Elementary," which stars Lucy Liu and Johnny Lee Miller, has officially been confirmed for a sixth season.

The future of "Elementary" had been unknown ever since it was not included in the list of renewed series for the 2017–2018 television season that CBS released back in March. "Elementary" has seen a decline in its ratings with the recent seasons, so it would not have been a surprise to many if the show was canceled. In a report by Entertainment Weekly, "Elementary" was concluded to be the least-rated series on CBS. The show has an average of 7.4 million viewers, with a 1.2 rating for adults aged 18 to 49.

CBS' decision to keep the show weighed heavily on the fact that the show has gained a lot of attention internationally.

After confirmation of a season 6 renewal, it has been reported that the show has been scheduled for a midseason premiere. This means that the "Elementary" won't be shown on television this fall, but will premiere in the beginning months of next year. The delay of the premiere gives more time for the producers and writers of "Elementary" to come up with a concept for the next season.

With the lowest-rated season coming to an end for "Elementary," there is a lot of improvement that must be done by the producers of the show for the coming season. In order to get the attention of viewers, a plot worth watching should be the main goal for season 6. If this happens, "Elementary" might just get renewed for more seasons.

It is also important for "Elementary" fans and other viewers to continuously watch the show and get the ratings up.

"Elementary" season 5 is still on the air with the final episode scheduled to premiere on Sunday, May 21 at 10 p.m. EDT on CBS.
