Start of production on the third cycle of the fan-adored detective drama has been moved from January to March. Sources say the shift was necessary to accommodate the busy schedules of the show’s breakout stars, Benedict Cumberbatch (who’s filming Star Trek 2) and Martin Freeman (starring in The Hobbit).
The BBC has not announced a premiere date for season three, but given that January was previously announced as the start of production, fans were expecting to see Holmes and Watson return in the summer. Sources say the BBC will air Sherlock series three in late 2013. PBS has to wait until after the BBC’s window. A PBS spokesperson says Sherlock will air either late 2013 — or early 2014.

I always thought it would air end of 2013, it is too big of a show now to show in the summer traditionally a quieter time for big dramas in the UK.
ReplyDeleteBut ... but ... but ... *wails sad fangirl wail*
ReplyDeleteThe reasonable side of me understands the busy schedules of all involved and is happy that I'll be seeing our boys on the big screen and knows that its only a couple months later and it'll still be less than a year until they're back ... but I don't want to be reasonable. I want Sherlock back. Now. Why, Sherlock, why?
Well this news is no surprise to me at all. After all a lot of things that had come up this year (the Hobbit, Frankenstein play with Benedict, Olympic games and now Star trek 2). But i hope to see a great season.
ReplyDeleteBother I had thought it would be back by early next year..I miss Sherlock
ReplyDeleteNot a surprising bit of news, but disappointing none the less. Still, I am sure it will be worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteWaiting is worth it for quality.
