Steven Moffat says there will be more Sherlock: "I sort of assume we'll come back" We're still waiting. - Digital Spy - June 29th ( x )
The future of Sherlock has yet to be confirmed – but signs look good if you want more of the BBC One detective drama.
Co-creator Steven Moffat spoke to Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2 earlier today, and was optimistic of a fifth series at some point in the future – despite everybody's busy schedules.
"We did [the last series] a year ago, just about, and I've been flat-out on Doctor Who ever since," he said. "So I haven't really thought about it.
"Mark [Gatiss has] been doing other stuff as well, so we haven't sat down and had a proper talk about what we would do with another series.
"I sort of assume we will. I sort of assume we'll come back."
The last we saw of Sherlock and Watson was in 'The Final Problem' back in January.
Andrew Scott, who plays Moriarty, recently suggested that the show won't be back for at least another two years.
"We're not doing [Sherlock] for another couple of years. Everybody got quite busy, you know? You want to keep it fresh and stuff like that," he said.
However, Moffat did say not long after the fourth series concluded that he would be "fine" if there was no more Sherlock.
"It's not like we haven't had our reward for doing that show," he said. "It's been such a phenomenon. Not doing it again would be fine. If that was it, then that would be it. None of us will starve in the street – well, I might."
