  • ‘Taboo’ Co-creator Steven Knight Previews Tom Hardy’s New FX Drama and a Break From Convention

    Years ago, Steven Knight was invited to meet Tom Hardy and discuss Hardy’s idea for a television project about an adventurer returning from Africa. Hardy has finally collected. Tom stars as James Keziah Delaney, who returns to London in 1814 after 10 years in Africa to claim his inheritance — namely a piece of real estate that puts him in the crosshairs of the power-jockeying trade giant East India Company (with whom he has a dark history), the British Crown, and America.

  • Sherlock – Why Mary Watson (probably) isn’t dead

    More than that, though, I was quite disappointed by the death of Mary Watson – it was difficult not to view that as a misstep, albeit one which would clearly have significant repercussions for the rest of the series, again establishing a brand-new status quo for Sherlock moving forward. You can tell it’s a concept Moffat and Gatiss are aware of – there’s a knowing nod to the idea in The Six Thatchers, with Mycroft looking forlornly into a fridge and then closing it shortly after Mary’s (apparent) death.

  • ‘Sherlock’ Creator & Star Fires Back at Critic In Rhyme

    Sherlock Season Four premiered on New Year’s Day and despite prime Cumberbatch, the first episode was met with middling reviews, especially when you compare it to the nearly untouchable, previous three seasons. British newspaper The Guardian panned the show for “starting to feel worryingly like we are watching villains be taken to task by a mutation named Sherlock Bond.” Critic Ralph Jones lambastes the writers for sacrificing the “brainy” aspects of Holmes in favor of more and more action.

  • ‘Sherlock’ Co-Creator Mark Gatiss Previews Season 4: ‘The Show Is Back and We Think It’s Very Good’

    Three years after the hit BBC serial’s third season — and a year removed from the one-off special “The Abominable Bride” — the dynamic duo of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are back on the case as Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. A new season of three feature-length episodes commences Jan. 1 on Masterpiece on PBS, and co-creator Mark Gatiss (who also plays Holmes’s older brother, Mycroft) can’t wait for fans to start piecing together the clues following the revelation that Moriarty is dead for real … we think.

  • Sherlock Movie Could Happen Says Co-Creator Mark Gatiss

    ‘Sherlock’ co-creator Mark Gatiss has entertained the idea of a movie based on the beloved but baffling BBC drama, but only if there is a “story of sufficient scale”. Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Gatiss (who also plays Sherlock’s brother Mycroft) said: “Of course we could do a movie but it would have to be a story of sufficient scale to make that move, because they’re already very big, very expensive and very movie-like. Fans have wanted a 'Sherlock’ movie starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman since the show’s popularity first rocketed during the second series.
