“It feels like the end of an era” for Sherlock, according to Benedict Cumberbatch. However, while admitting that the fourth season of the detective series could be its last, showrunner Steven Moffat slams the apparent ‘misreading’ of the show’s fate, per EW:
“This is really worth saying because it’s getting exhausting for us all. That’s not what Benedict said. That’s what someone edited his words into the meaning of. It seems to be impossible these days not to be misquoted. He was quite specific about being keen to carry on. He went on to say he’s hard to get us all together.
However, Moffat is at best on the fence about the future of Sherlock, which naturally entices the cancellation reaper:
“We want to keep the quality up. We haven’t even seen [Season 4] yet. We don’t know. We haven’t sat down with the intent to anything yet. But we’re always aware that it could be over. But the fact is Benedict did not say that.”
Sherlock can’t hide in limbo forever. Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the cancel/renew status of Sherlock Season 5…
