Gatiss previously joked that he’s hoping for a love scene in the show: “It’s filled with the fittest men on television, so I wouldn’t be averse to it. ”

Sherlock will return for a one-off Christmas special in 2015, followed by a series of three new episodes in 2016.

Speaking backstage at the Emmy Awards this week, Moffat teased: “We have a plan to top [Series 3] — and actually I do think our plan is devastating.”
