Steven Moffat Teases ‘Sherlock’ Season 4

BBC’s “Sherlock” was on one of the biggest winners of last night’s Emmy Awards. However, neither Benedict Cumberbatch nor Martin Freeman were on hand to collect their respective trophies for lead and supporting actor in a miniseries or movie.

“Sherlock” co-creator Steven Moffat was present at the Emmys to collect his writing award for the third season finale, “His Last Vow.” And while speaking with the press backstage, Moffat dropped a few hints about the upcoming fourth season.

“We have a plan to top it — and actually I do think our plan is devastating,” said Moffat (via The Hollywood Reporter). “We practically reduced our cast to tears by telling them the plan. Honestly, Mark [Gatiss] and myself are so excited with what we’ve got coming up, probably more excited than we’ve ever been about Sherlock. … Honestly I think we can [top the last season].”

Moffat also expressed his surprise about the recognition that “Sherlock” received from the Emmys this year.

“We’ve won outside of America, which is a place,” joked Moffat. “We were just starting to think that that phase of our lives was dying down because as shows get older they don’t win as often — just like people. We’re delighted that we’ve made it here and hopefully this gets more people watching. That’d be great.”

“Sherlock” Season 4 is rumored to begin production in 2015. There is currently no word on when the fourth season will premiere.
