Sherlock: Series 3 When?

Share on Twitter

There have been some reports this weekend that Sherlock might return with a third series later in 2012.

This was based off an interview in the Guardian with Steven Moffat who was quoting as saying the show would be back “before the year is out.”

However, Moffat’s wife, aka executive producer Sue Vertue, took to Twitter last night to clear things up: “Sorry to be a killjoy but Steven Moffat didn’t actually mean Series 3 of Sherlock would [transmission] before end of year. I think that is sadly unlikely.”

This is hardly surprising though. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are more in demand than ever and have busy schedules ahead of them with both The Hobbit and Star Trek 2 shooting this year. 2013 always seemed the earliest the show could return.

One thing that Moffat did confirm though was that some scenes showing how Sherlock faked his death have already been filmed: “We’ve worked out how Sherlock survives, and actually shot part of what really happened.”

“It all makes sense,” he added.

    Ugh… Oh well, it did seem way too good to be true, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman filming Star Trek 2 and The Hobbit. Hopefully it’ll have premiered by this time next year! *fingers crossed*

    I’m fine with the long break because I know who busy all of these people are (especially Moffat with the 50 anniversary of Who). And obviously they want to turn out the best product for fans by putting as much time and effort in it as possible. I hope Toby Haynes returns to direct the first episode of series 3, with Paul McGuigan doing more work on the series as well. I’m also hoping there may be a few more episodes then the typical 3, perhaps 4 or 5? Moffat claimed on twitter series 3 was ordered when series 2 was, which means they have had more time to plan and write the episodes for series 3. so I’m hoping for a little more then normal. perhaps not, either way I’m happy they show will be back at some point in our life time. (perhaps series 3 will pick up when Sherlock is on his death bed and Watson is in a nursing home. The two elderly chaps will hobble around London solving crimes lol)

    I fell off the chair when they said they’d shot a bit of how he survives. I’m a bit obsessed like that (As in, I check this website at least 5 times a day, I spend a few hours at a time thinking about Sherlock, etc…)  imagine how I will react when anything ACTUALLY happens.

    And I believe Series 3 will air Early 2013, probably.
