Benedict Cumberbatch has revealed that he and co-star Martin Freeman have signed on for four seasons of Sherlock. In a recent interview with RadioTimes the actor said that they’d agreed to do two additional seasons of the popular BBC show, but that he wasn’t sure how that would play out.
“We’ve agreed to two more series but I could get into trouble for saying that. All I know at the moment is I’m doing these three [episodes of the upcoming series] and another three.”
This is excellent news for fans following on the heels of yesterday’s announcement that Season 3, after a bit of a scheduling delay, had begun production. Many have been concerned that Cumberbatch, Freeman and showrunner Steven Moffat’s (who also has Doctor Who on his plate) increasingly demanding schedules would prevent Sherlock from moving forward. As it is the 90-minute episodes act as three small features per season, and are quite time consuming.
Cumberbatch indicated that he’d love to see the show go on well beyond the 4 seasons that he has agreed to. The plan right now is to film through the summer, at which point Freeman will break for The Hobbit reshoots, and then return to production for the remainder of Season 3. Here’s hoping that they can continue to make this scheduling puzzle work!
