Emmy-darling Sherlock plans “devastating 4th season”

With its triple win yesterday, Sherlock put an end to its 17 nominations Emmy drought (and there were another 4 at the Creative Emmys a week earlier).

Personally, I thought earlier seasons were stronger work, but it’s good that it has been recognised.

“I was shocked and surprised,” co-creator Steven Moffat has said. “I was delighted we won four awards at the Creatives, but The Normal Heart is brilliant. I feel guilty about every award we took from them.

“We have a plan to top season 3, and our plan is so devastating that our cast was reduced to tears. Mark (Gatiss) and I are excited about what we have coming up. We’re a couple of fanboys.”

Moffat conceded it can be “quite tricky,” accessing Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman from their busy schedules.

“It’s like corralling everyone in a cocktail party. We have to pitch (them) every year. But, we know what’s happening with Sherlock is unusual, so we’ll keep making Sherlock as long as it’s a good show.”

Series 4 is expected to go before the cameras in January.
