Co-created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, Sherlock stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the new Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as his loyal friend, Doctor John Watson. Rupert Graves plays Inspector Lestrade.
The iconic details from Conan Doyle's original books remain – they live at the same address of 221b Baker Street, have the same names and, somewhere out there, Moriarty is waiting for them.


Steven Moffat says: "Conan Doyle's stories were never about frock coats and gas light; they're about brilliant detection, dreadful villains and blood-curdling crimes – and frankly, to hell with the crinoline. Other detectives have cases, Sherlock Holmes has adventures, and that's what matters."
This three part series starts on 25 July.

This series actually renewed my interest in Doyle's catalog of Holmes stories.

I found a list of all of them that someone had compiled a rating of each based on Holmes fans feedback, so they're each rated from 1 ★ up to 5 ★'s.

Even better was I found 2 different versions of all of his stories in audio formats.

• A really cool one is an old BBC Radio version with an entire cast of voice actors doing every story unabridged, along with a bit of sound effects added in.

• The other is a narration by some British bloke, but he does a good job with it.

I'm busy enough as it is, so these are a nice listen when commuting or driving around town on errands.

Yeah, same here. I just picked up the 70-hour Audible version. Haven't listened to it yet, but looking forward to it.

Sad, pushed back due to Moffat heading up Dr. Who, in part...

Quote:
After another critically acclaimed season of Sherlock episodes, fans are no doubt wondering how long they’ll have to wait before season 4 of the series premieres. Most returning viewers know that BBC shows don’t always follow annual release schedules – with new seasons of Steven Moffat-led series Doctor Who and Sherlock launching whenever the showrunner and actors have time to coordinate their schedules (as opposed to a stock release window set by the BBC).

That said, while Doctor Who fans may have to wait slightly longer than normal to get their Time Lord fix, Sherlock viewers have typically endured a hard two full years between seasons. Last year, Benedict Cumberbatch confirmed plans for season 4 were already in motion, leading fans to hope that the between season hiatus would be shorter this round. Unfortunately, Moffat claims that there is still a lot of pre-production work to be done and complicated schedules to work out – likely making a season 4 premiere two years out.

Best Sherlock Moments Sherlock Reveal Sherlock Season 4 Premiere Now 2 Years Away

Speaking with IGN at the Television Critics Association Winter Tour, Moffat offered a standard (and gruff) comment on when fans might see another season of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson in modern day London – explaining that scheduling and quality are the biggest hurdles for the series going forward:

“I have no idea. Sue’s working on the schedules right now. I just started with Capaldi on the new series of Doctor Who. You know, we’ll do what we can, but with no sacrifice in quality – that’s the thing. If people have to wait two years, they’ll have to wait two years.”

Considering that Cumberbatch and Freeman have both made a successful jump from the TV screen to the big screen, steadily working as movie stars in high profile film franchises such as Star Trek and The Hobbit, respectively, it’s no surprise that it’s a challenge coordinating the actors’ increasingly busy schedules with a writer/showrunner that’s juggling two key BBC TV series (among other projects). Things are only going to get more complicated going forward as Cumberbatch is rumored for a part in what would be a very time-intensive Star Wars: Episode 7 production, in addition to smaller dramatic roles, and Freeman is set to appear in FX’s Fargo TV series.

Watson Sherlock 570x294 Sherlock Season 4 Premiere Now 2 Years Away

Obviously, a drawn out TV hiatus is a disappointment to fans, especially in the age of back-to-back film productions and shared cinematic universes where we have routine access to our favorite characters. Yet, Moffat has a good reason for keeping fans waiting – longevity:

“When’s the next James Bond film? It’s not that kind of show that turns up all the time. It’s just not. But the good news is, that probably means it will turn up sporadically for a very, very long while.”

In spite of the two year wait, Moffat’s dedication to quality is hard criticize. Even the best TV show begins to struggle as the core premise is stretched out over multiple episodes and seasons. While Sherlock sports longer individual runtimes, it has always enjoyed the benefit of significantly shorter seasons (with only three episodes each); as a result, it’s good to know that Moffat isn’t simply going to start churning out more Sherlock, simply because he can, to the point of exhaustion.

Sherlock the empty hearse promo still 570x294 Sherlock Season 4 Premiere Now 2 Years Away

Right now, new installments of Sherlock are a welcome bonus to the standard TV schedule and the lengthy production run-up could even help maintain excitement around the series for the long haul. It’s always possible that the (movie) stars could align and get season 4 (not to mention an already confirmed season 5) out earlier than expected but most fans would likely settle for regular two year holds between seasons if it does in fact mean that, as Moffat claims, the show won’t sacrifice quality and will continue to pop up sporadically “for a very, very long while.”

On the upside, it seems as if as long as they do have that flexibility and it's okay with these extended gaps, he sounds like everyone involved is keen on doing many more seasons of it when they actually have good fresh material to shoot.
We already know there will be a 4 and 5, but now I'm thinking they intend many more than that, and it's just depending on when he comes up with quality stuff and then fitting in the time to get everyone to film it.

Good point. Are these production companies who work with BBC really BBC productions, or does Moffat own his own production company, produce content, then sell the content to BBC?

I'd say they're BBC. He's just their golden boy of the moment. He may have a deal worked out that his production company is involved in part maybe, but the shows are BBC property I'm almost certain.
