On the assumption Cumberbatch IS out, and regardless of whether Freeman choses to follow - and I'd assume he would - I wonder whether the Beeb wouldn't consider recasting?
Holmes has proved resilient enough to survive a number of incarnations and, if the Moffat and Gatiss are still with the project, it might be worth a go. And, as been pointed out, it is huge international hit, critically and financially, for Auntie...
But, hey, as has been pointed out, we'll have had 9 great films to watch repeatedly.
AND ELEMENTARY has been renewed for a second series so 'tis not all doom and gloom.
Well I'm available to take over, although they'll have to
let out Cumberbatch's coat quite a bit to fit.
along with the second series of Elementary ( I'll be
ordering the Box set of it soon ). Robert Downey, Jr. in
a recent interview strongly hinted at a Third Movie. -{
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
I hope the Miller example - that with good writing and great acting the shadow of Cumberbatch CAN be overcome - encourages Moffat and Gatiss to give it ago sans Benny and Martin AND shows any leading actor that it CAN be done.
There is a huge demand for top quality Holmes. And there is even "demand" for Downey's version, too...

Benedict Cumberbatch on his meteoric rise to stardom
Doesn't rule out more SHERLOCK's, does he, even as one-offs?
The advantage of occasional, off-the-cuff returns at least means that quality and enthusiasm are likely to be maintained, but will this satisfy the Beeb's need for product, and profit????
I think both Cumberbatch and Freeman Love the series and if they can
They'll keep doing them. I too would be happy with a couple of Specials

Not as much as I'm looking forward to someone playing Superman in the style of Roger Moore's James Bond...

Weeeelllll.... Adam West flounced about in true Roger Mooretis style as the Dark Knight :007)

SUPPOSE Benedict Cumberbatch can't do series 4 (tragic, but not impossible)
and
SUPPOSE "Elementary" is cancelled after the second series (as above)
then
Jonny Lee Miller would be available to star in "Sherlock" series 4.....

HAPPY 76th BIRTHDAY UNA!
I certainly see DC and MF making every attempt possible to work with BBC in keeping SHERLOCK going, however slowly.

But I can't see him as Bond.
Thanks for noting the anniversary, there. Bond had a similar experience at the end of Fleming's FRWL, I believe.
