Sherlock Tentatively Pencilled in for January 2017

Sherlock Series 2 and 3 both aired in January so it doesn’t take an intuitive leap similar to the titular sleuth to surmise that the upcoming series might also air in the first month of 2017 – still, it’s nice to have tentative confirmation that Sherlock will return in January.

This latest clue comes from PBS, who broadcast Sherlock in the states; speaking at this year’s Television Critics Association winter press tour PBS president Paula Kerger told Zap2it:

“We do have the next Sherlock announced, that is coming up about a year from now.”

Which, my faithful friend, means January 2017 is the likely date we’ll see Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman return to our screens. It’s elementary my dear reader!

Kerger continues by saying that it’s tricky because of how involved the production of each Sherlock episode is and the busy schedule of star Benedict Cumberbatch.

“As you know, Benedict has gotten to be somewhat popular since we began our work with him,” said Kerger, “and he very much wants to continue with Sherlock.  As you know, they are produced almost like films, and we’re hoping the next one will be about a year from now.”

So you can tentatively pencil in the return of Sherlock for this time next year.
