The growing Hollywood success of Sherlock stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman could mean that the show might end with season four, the co-creator of the show said.

“We would love to do more, but we are not lying, we absolutely don’t know,” Gatiss said, adding that “it’s up to all kinds of factors, scheduling. Willingness to do it is all all here, but we are just not sure”.

Gatiss and co-creator Steven Moffat also have other commitments, including their work on “Doctor Who”, of which Moffat is the current showrunner.

Speaking at the screening, Cumberbatch suggested Sherlock would go through more of an emotional evolution than in previous series, becoming “less of a d**k” in the process.

The show first aired in 2010. The show will be back on the Indian small screen with season four next year. It will air from January 7, 2017 on AXN.
