Filming will begin on a Sherlock special next January with shooting on a new season taking place later that year, so says BBC One. And BBC One confirmed that the new season will be made up of three new episodes starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.

Commenting on the return of the show, writer/creator Steven Moffat said, “A special, plus a new series of three episodes – it’s a record-breaking run! 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…”

“Series Four! At last! It’s always special to return to Sherlock but this time it’s even more special as we’re doing… a Special! Not only THAT, we’ll then be shooting three more episodes which will take Sherlock and John Watson into deeper and darker water than ever before,” added writer/creator Mark Gatiss. “The whole Sherlock team are terrifically excited to return for four new adventures. The Game is on – again!”

“It’s taken a little while to get the dates sorted as none of the boys are exactly sitting back twiddling their thumbs but there was unanimous goodwill to make this work, so we’re thrilled that 221b is going to be inhabited again,” explained executive producer Sue Vertue.


And Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama, stated: “Steven and Mark are ready to unleash the most shocking and surprising series of Sherlock yet. The only thing to expect is the unexpected…”
