What do you think of Season 4 coming out in January 2016?

I think it's silly to make us wait that long. I'm going to go nuts if I have wait two whole years! So unfair!

Although I can agree with almost every other Sherlockian, I also see things in this perspective; if they are taking two years to make the new season (which I know they won't be shooting the whole time considering holidays and the very busy actors) it will, hopefully, be more detailed then it already is, and will answer more mysteries! I'm not so bothered that they are taking two years also because, as you saw if you watched Season 3 Episode 3, Moriarty will most likely (I say most likely because Steven Moffat and Mark Gatis are the most unpredictable little fuckers I've ever heard of) return. My sister and I watch the show, and when we saw Moriarty at the end of the episode, we literally went outside and screamed and cussed to our hearts' content. Hopefully my response will help you get over the shock and horror of waiting two whole years for such a wonderfully made and epic show!

What i thought it was this christmas

Is this actually the official air date? I haven't heard anything about this being true...

Well recently on the graham noron show benedict states that we will see more sherlock in 2015 which is probably the christmas special. so it will hopefuly be worth the wait

Well we don't have to wait as long as 2016. We do have to wait until December though for the Christmas special that BBC does with most of its shows. (Call the Midwife, Downton Abbey, ETC) We will have the special in December than the rest of Series 4 in early 2016. Hope This helps!
