?Sherlock? makers sticking to abbreviated seasons

 

PASADENA, Calif. ? The makers of TV?s ?Sherlock? say even a lobbying effort by British Prime Minister David Cameron wouldn?t persuade them to produce more episodes each season.

But ?Sherlock? co-creator Steven Moffat and producer Sue Vertue tweaked Cameron anyway for lack of effort. It?s been more than a month, they noted, since he visited China and was asked by fans there to press for more of the popular mystery series.

 

He and Cumberbatch, who said he appreciated the fervor of fans, agreed they are committed to keeping ?Sherlock? going indefinitely.

'Sherlock' Season 4 News: Benedict Cumberbatch Series Could Be On For 'A Very Long Time,' Says Steven Moffat

 

 

Sherlock Season 4 does not currently have a release date, though based on the scheduling of the first three seasons, it will likely come out in Britain and America in 2016.

 

I don't even know if i'll be alive by twenty sixteen :(  :laugh:

Did you miss me?

The season was pretty meh overall.  I got lost more than a couple times this episode.  For example.. how did Sherlock ruin the girls engagement?  Looking forward to next, hoping it picks up.  For now.. I guess I have elementary.. which sadly has been pretty blah so far.

How he ruins the engagement was pretty straightforward!

Just started watching the series, in the last few days, and finished the first season. I have 3 major complains about the show. There is almost no character development, the seasons are too short, and new seasons only come out every 2 years. I do like the show though, it just makes it harder to really want to watch something that is on such a ridiculous schedule.

[Hurmoth]

I hope the next season doesn't feel as rushed as the most recent season did.

 

I think the character development issue is a big deal for the villain, not so much for Sherlock and Watson. Adding a few extra episodes to help fill in those gaps would be great though. And it really doesn't even need to be that many episodes, an extra three would probably do it.

 

I think they want to have something that feels face paced and the way they write the show, that can only be accomplished with three episodes. But that's just my opinion.

[McCordRm]

My favorite episode so far has been where they pinpoint what Sherlock is seeing

with his hyper-awareness kind of like they do on Psych. I wish there was more of that.

Hoping for early 2015 or earlier. But I have a feeling it'll be either late 2015 or early 2016. What's your guess?

I think a special later this before a proper series next year

That would be a great filler in-between series/seasons.

I also hope they announce more than 3 episodes :p I'd be happy with just one more episode!

[Rappy Veteran]

There we go

Holy ######. So a year and a half wait just for the special :huh: ?

Possible they could get it edited and air it by Spring, so maybe the special could air in as little as eight months? *wishful thinking*

[Draconian Guppy]

The special is supposedly not a part of the series right?

[ensiform]

They can't start immediately though, everyone is still quite busy :P

It will explain the end of last series with the "miss me" message

[Rappy Veteran]

The BBC has released an image of the crime-solving duo donning some 19th century threads, and while this looks like a promo image, the BBC?s Twitter account confirms that this is how they?ll appear in the special. Sherlock doesn?t do dream sequences, so I?m intrigued as to why Sherlock and Watson are wearing some period garb. Unfortunately, the answer is a long ways off.

dream sequence as in dreamed episode? Won't this follow up with the 2016 season?

[Tigurinn]

Perhaps they'll take turns

The 80s and 90s Sherlock Holmes starring Jeremy Brett is one of my most favorite TV series to date and the best sherlock series ever to me. Too bad we lost Jeremy too soon.

 

I'm not really that much of a fan of the new, modern series. It's too over-the-top for me, doesn't really fit the modern era IMO and seems to be geared towards general public and young viewers specifically rather than the regular sherlock holmes fans.

 

Let's see how this special pans out. I wouldn't mind if they set one season in the Victorian London with cases similar, but not the same, to Conan Doyle's writings.

 

P.S. I really enjoyed the latest holmes games, Crimes and Punishments.
