Sherlock stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman were the first to know there would be a fourth series of the BBC1 detective drama, says co-creator Steven Moffat at the Cheltenham Literature Festival.– even before himself or the BBC's commissioners.
《神探夏洛克》合伙制片人史蒂芬·莫法特特在切爾滕納姆文學(xué)節(jié)上稱，該片兩位男主角——本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇和馬丁·弗里曼是最先知道這部偵探劇會有第四季的人，甚至早在制片人和BBC委員之前他們就知道了。

"We had to inform the BBC that Martin and Benedict had commissioned a new series," said Moffat.
“我們已經(jīng)告知BBC電視臺，馬丁和本尼迪克特已經(jīng)同意出演第四季了?！蹦ㄌ卣f。

"They signed themselves up. They both announced that they were carrying on – so that’s good. Benedict, at some red carpet event somewhere, said he was carrying on forever. Martin, at another one, said, ‘Yep, series four is happening’."
“他們兩個人都簽了約。兩人都宣布會繼續(xù)演下去——這非常好。本尼迪特當(dāng)時正在某地走紅地毯，稱他會永遠(yuǎn)繼續(xù)演下去。另一個男主角馬丁也說'是的，會有第四季的'?！?/div>

Fans are still awaiting Sherlock series three almost two years after the season-two cliffhanger finale was first screened, with an official air date yet to be announced. And while Moffat admitted he himself did not know for sure when it would be broadcast, he did say "I would place good money on it being at the very end or the very beginning of the year."
《神探夏洛克》第二季攝制之后將近兩年了，懸念迭起的劇情未完待續(xù)，粉絲還在苦等著第三季。官方網(wǎng)站上的公映日程表也尚未公布。盡管莫法特承認(rèn)他本人也不知道該劇什么時候能播出，他也說，“在今年年末或明年年初我將會把一大筆錢投入到該劇的攝制工作中去。”
