Series executive producer Robert Hewitt Wolfe confirmed various reports on Monday (December 17) that the upcoming seventh season of the CBS series will be the last. All of the episodes have already been filmed.

Once again, just wanted to say what an incredible honor it was to work on this show. From creator Rob Doherty and his partner-in-crime Carl Beverly, to my fellow writers, our amazing cast and crew, our top notch editors, #Elementary was a 1st class group in every way.

"Working on #Elementary was a career highlight and I'm insufferably proud of what we've achieved. Doyle wrote 60 Holmes mysteries, we did 154. Jonny Lee Miller and @LucyLiu have played Holmes and Watson on screen more than any pair in history.

Holmes & Watson are eternal. They'll always be out there, somewhere, on stage, screen, or page, solving mysteries and depending on each other. We gave them voice for a time, and now we move on, leaving them waiting for the next interpretation, the next mystery. Adieu. #Elementary

The seventh season will pick up with Holmes and Watson operating in London full-time, having been forced to flee New York City in the season six finale.
It was revealed earlier this year that writers had previously written the season six finale as if it were the end of the series, before CBS gave the show a last-minute renewal.
