The dramatic conclusion of the second season of Sherlock led to the announcement by the BBC that the television show will be returning for a third series. The creators recently confirmed that the BBC1 drama will be returning despite an initial statement that it might not be.
The creator of the series is Steven Moffat and he had previously said that there would not necessarily be a third season of Sherlock. However, after the conclusion of the second, he stated that he was joking and it would definitely be returning.
Nearly eight million people watched the series finale and this is down about 1 million from those who watched the first episode of the season on New Year’s Day. The episode that aired on Sunday evening was called The Reichenbach Fall which is named after the book that Conan Doyle first published in the late 19th century.
The creative directors of the television show have said that they have complete freedom from the original books so they don’t have to keep everything as it once was. It is currently unknown when the next season will be broadcast but many people expect that it won’t be until next year.
Both of the stars have busy schedules and are filming major Hollywood movies. Benedict Cumberbatch, who stars as Sherlock Holmes, has recently been cast in the new Star Trek movie as the villain. Martin Freeman, who plays Dr Watson is currently filming the Hobbit, the shooting of which is taking place in New Zealand.
The second season of Sherlock was met with critical acclaim and the end of the final episode was particularly appealing to viewers. Mr Moffat originally said about the episode, before announcing that it would return, that he was unsure whether he would keep Sherlock alive or kill him off before the end of the series.
