Fans of Sherlock have been kept waiting for some time but the second season has now been slated in the US for May.

There is still no date yet for the UK, but it is likely to be earlier. How much earlier is still unknown…

The second season, based on the stories A Scandal in Bohemia, The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Final Problem, was originally due on the BBC in 2011 which would have made planning awkward for Nine.

Cast members for the three 90 minute instalments include Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock, Martin Freeman as Dr John Watson, Rupert Graves as Inspector Lestrade and Una Stubbs as Mrs Hudson. Ex-Being Human star Russell Tovey also has a role.

Easily one of the most wicked things on the box last year, but I guess we will have to wait a bit longer…
