Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch has confirmed that a fourth season of the BBC reworking of the legendary sleuth is on the way.
According to the Radio Times both himself and co-star Martin Freeman (who plays sidekick Watson) have signed up for more episodes.
"We've agreed to two more series but I'm probably going to get into trouble for saying that," said Cumberbatch. "All I know at the moment is I'm doing these three and another three."
On the show's future beyond a fourth run, he added: "It just depends on Martin and I's availability, how long we can keep it going. It depends on Steven's (Moffat, showrunner) ability. I'd love to keep it going."
Production recently commenced on three more Sherlock episodes, with the first read-through taking place yesterday, March 12th, in Cardiff.
