Benedict Cumberbatch’s 'Sherlock' Series 4, 2016 Delay and Season 5 Spoilers

You don’t need a magnifying glass to see that Sherlock is one of the hottest shows out there today. However, the show is in danger of letting those embers die, by taking too much time off. In a move that makes the producers of Batman Vs Superman seem competent, Sherlock Series 4 has been delayed until 2016. That seems like an awful long time to wait for three measly episodes. Meanwhile, the show’s star, Benedict Cumberbatch is unsure if we will ever see a Season 5.

Talk about your time management problems. Sherlock star’s Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman have apparently become so popular that are too busy to film three episodes in less than two years. For the second time, the show will be taking a two year break.

Sherlock producer and writer, Steven Moffat, recently spoke with IGN about when to expect Series 4:

"I have no idea...Sue's working on the schedules right now...If people have to wait two years, they'll have to wait two years.”

And it is looking like that is just what is going to happen.

The mystery still remains if the show will ever see a Season 5. Co-creator Mark Gatiss spoke about the issue, at an event by the Royal Television Society, telling reporters:

"The idea of growing older with it would be great. But it is hard to get everyone back together, because they have become extremely famous--except for us."

The show’s star Benedict Cumberbatch made some very similar comments last year, telling The Radio Times UK:

“It just depends on Martin and I’s availability, how long we can keep it going. It depends on Steven’s ability. I’d love to keep it going.”
