Sherlock’s titular character may have bested Jim Moriarty, and seemingly survived the impossible plummet at the climax of series 2 finale “The Reichenbach Fall,” but his work is far from over. Series writer Mark Gatiss recently spoke to London’s Radio Times about the upcoming third series, which begins production in March, and may feature original villains not created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
“Doyle got it right first time, he invented the super-villain,” said Gatiss. “All great heroes have their Moriarty and after that you have to be very clever about trying to come up with someone who’s the equivalent otherwise they just look like a watered down version, so it’s about telling different kinds of stories.” That isn’t to discount such classic Sherlock Holmes villains as Colonel Sebastian Moran or Charles Augustus Milverton, but it seems the writers may have their own designs in mind.
I m so excited to see how sherlock faked his death....and it will be interesting to see how the new villains live up to our expectations...
