Could this be due to the fact they’ve been waiting so very long between Season three and four? Not to worry a Fifth season is already being plotted. But it is still going to be only a few episodes per season due to the extremely tight scheduling of the main actors and the writers alike.
That’s what make the show so good to many fans, claiming that it’s all about the anticipation. Writer of the show, Steven Moffat, hinted to excited followers that the next season, season four is going to be more about “Chickens coming home to roost.
It is dark in some ways — obviously it is great fun and a Sherlock Holmes romp and all that — but there is a sense of things coming back to bite you. It is not a safe, sensible way to live. It is hilarious and exhilarating some days, but some days it is going to be bloody frightening.”
Sherlock will be returning early 2017, but there maybe some surprises along the way.
