I don’t think I’m overstating it by saying that the BBC’s modern adaptation of Sherlock Holmes has been one of the television highlights of the year so far. It’s been a real treat, one might say. As the series ended on Sunday evening, with Holmes and Watson in an impossible situation, I found myself uttering the words “more please!”. At least, that’s the clean version.
After the critical and ratings success of the series, it would seem nonsensical for the BBC and the series creators not to ride the wave and produce more episodes. Right? Thankfully they agree and it’s now official – there will be more episodes of Sherlock!
Speaking on BBC Breakfast this morning, the show’s producer Sue Vertue confirmed “there will be some more” episodes of Sherlock. Co-creator Steven Moffat followed by saying “we are definitely [making more episodes]“.
So there you have it, Sherlock will definitely be back for another series, and personally, I can’t wait to see how Holmes and Watson out of that potentially explosive situation they were left in at the end of Sunday’s episode.

Cumberbatch was in a great mini-series called “The Last Enemy” with Robert Carlyle a few years ago. I think the Brits crank out some excellent, but often very short, serialized shows.
