This didn't go ahead, but then CBS separately created Elementary. To explain, CBS approached the producers of Sherlock with the intent of remaking that show for an American audience. But the similarities are greater than that, due to the origins of Elementary which resulted in legal threats being issued by some of the Sherlock production staff. This is to be expected, as they both follow a pretty standard pitch to take Sherlock Holmes and place him and the other characters within his short stories and novels into a modern context. Sherlock and Elementary have a great deal of things in common.
