Start thinking about Christmas in London, ‘Sherlock’ fans.
The BBC series is set to return for four installments, including a one-off Christmas special, in 2015. No word yet on when it will air this side of the pond, but if the 2014 season is any indication — shortly after the BBC season ends.
The serious, but inadvertently sexy, sleuth is played by Benedict Cumberbatch, with Martin Freeman starring as Holmes.
“A special, plus a new series of three episodes — it’s a record-breaking run!” co-creator Steven Moffat told TV Guide. “Of course, it’s far too early to say what’s coming, but we’re reasonably confident that the very next thing to happen to Sherlock and John, is the very last thing you’d expect ….”
When fans last saw Sherlock Holmes, he foiled Magnussen’s blackmail attempt, but left room for Jim Moriarty’s return. Read the finale recap here at Vulture.com.
And here are a few more Benedict Cumberbatch pictures to tide over the “Cumber-collectors. The ‘bitches’ thing just wasn’t feminist,” he told the Sun-Times last fall.
