ANYONE desperate to find out what happens after the dramatic events in the last episode of Sherlock's second series will have quite a long wait.
Executive producer Beryl Vertue has revealed that the third run of the hit show will start filming in the early part of 2013. This suggests it will air later that year or not until 2014.
The updated version of the sleuth's adventures was co-created by Vertue's son-in-law Steven Moffat and is produced by his wife Sue Vertue for Hartswood Films and BBC Wales.
Ariel - the BBC's in-house magazine - reports Beryl Vertue stating "early 2013" as the date when production on the next series will get under way.
Beryl Vertue added it was too early to announce broadcast dates for the next set of episodes, even though showrunner Steven Moffat had at one point suggested it could air later in 2012.
His producer wife Sue Vertue later said on Twitter that a return on the small screen before the end of this year was "sadly unlikely."
The show's stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are both filming overseas, with Cumberbatch playing the unnamed villain in the next Star Trek movie and Freeman starring as Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson's two-part adaptation of The Hobbit.
A third series of Sherlock was announced in January. Moffat told The Guardian that he and co-creator Mark Gatiss had already planned what would happen in the story after series finale The Reichenbach Fall.
He said: "We've worked out how Sherlock survives. And actually shot part of what really happened. It all makes sense."
Moffat recently said Moriarty was unlikely to return and they wanted to add new villains to keep the show from becoming stale and repetitive.
