The future of Sherlock might be in serious doubt, but star Benedict Cumberbatch admits he keeps being drawn back to the BBC detective drama due to its evolving nature, per RadioTimes:
“We’ve all evolved with this story. It wouldn’t be so satisfying if we were simply churning out the same thing that we started with. We aimed high to begin with, and we keep on trying to surprise ourselves and hopefully our audience.
There are payoffs in this series that I know in some instances even the writers didn’t realise were happening until they were starting to write it, which is just remarkable. The level of invention and imagination and darkness and joy just gets better and better.
There’s a lot of very serious stuff, and it’s very bleak at times. But the writers also manage to do something very funny as well. How do I feel personally about that? Great. And, you know, I wouldn’t be coming back to do more if there wasn’t a difference between this series and the first series. I’m very lucky to have a character like this, who I still really want to play.”
Will Season 4 be the end of Sherlock, at least for a while, or will there be a Season 5? Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the cancel/renew status of Sherlock…
