According to Sherlock co-creators Mark Gatiss, the show is over. Well, for the time being anyway.
It’s been no secret that issues have always arisen when it comes to filming a new season of Sherlock, mainly due to the main cast members of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman being in high demand elsewhere and their schedules being booked up long in advance. However, in the recent A Stab in the Dark podcast Gatiss has laid the gauntlet for someone else to come along and make their own version of the Baker Street detective.
“It was very, very hard to schedule the last series, because of Martin [Freeman] and Benedict [Cumberbatch]’s availability. And Steve [Moffat]’s and mine.There is always that Fawlty Towers principle of, ‘Let’s just leave it’. We’ve had the keys to Baker Street for a while, but one of the wonderful things is that they’re always shared.

If the fourth season of Sherlock is really remembered as its last, blame scheduling.
Since “The Final Problem” premiered almost six months ago, the show’s immediate future has been the topic of heated debate online, as viewers deliberate over what’s next for Benedict Cumberbatch’s eponymous sleuth beyond 2017. A fifth season has been floated numerous times in the past, but it’s “at least two years away,” according to series stalwart Andrew Scott (Moriarty).
That’s largely because of Cumberbatch’s (and indeed Martin Freeman’s) stacked slate, but there’s also the very real concern that series showrunners Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss will become too tied up with other TV projects. Case in point: Dracula, a new take on Bram Stoker’s horror classic that has already set up shop at BBC America. All of this has led many to believe that Sherlock has been placed on an indefinite hiatus,...
