SHERLOCK Creator Steven Moffat and Producer Sue Vertue Talk Plans for Seasons 4 and 5, Juggling Schedules with DOCTOR WHO, and More

Even though Sherlock hasn’t quite finished its Season 3 run on Masterpiece on PBS, fans of the popular series are already anxious to know when it will return with new episodes. Thanks to the increasing work schedules for show stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, who have very busy acting careers, and Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, who write the episodes, the gap between seasons doesn’t seem as though it will shorten, anytime soon.

But the good news is that there are plans for a Season 4 and 5, which show creator Steven Moffat and producer Sue Vertue spoke to Collider about. During this exclusive interview, they discussed how the waiting period isn’t ideal but hasn’t hurt their viewership, that the scheduling needs to be juggled with Moffat’s other series, Doctor Who, how fans will get more episodes, in the long run, because they make shorter seasons and work around the actors’ availability, that it’s not likely they’ll have another season ready by Christmas (which had been previously rumored), and that they have ideas for Season 4 that will lead to a terrifying Season 5. Check out what they had to say after the jump.

I think it's great for most of the fans to hear that there is more Sherlock coming. (of course some fans hated Series 3 so much they have vowed never to watch again but then, haters gotta hate,etc)

I do think the long gap did hurt the series to a certain extent but you can hardly expect the actors to turn down major movie deals to do tv. Even this tv series, which is like getting three movies over the course of three weeks. I just think some of the momentum that we were left with at the end of "Fall" got softened with time, it was harder than I expected to get into the mindset than it would have been if it had been only a year.

But hey, I would rather have the gap and have something to look forward to at some point than turn the tv on and watch the sad, slow degeneration of most of the current American tv series out there. As far as I am concerned, Sherlock has not yet worn out it's welcome, it's just more that I wish it could visit a little sooner is all.
