Steven Moffat Calls Season 4 Of SHERLOCK Hilarious And Frightening
"Some days it’s going to be bloody frightening." Steven Moffat revealed in an interview discussing what makes the next season of Sherlock different.
Sherlock's Steven Moffat took part in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, and had a wide-rannge discussion on Sherlock Season 4. He reveals that the upcoming season will anser questions and what seperates Season 4 from the previous seasons.
First off Moffat revealed that in the next season there "are answers coming to questions which nobody has asked. There’s one thing that no one has really brought up,"
Season 3 of Sherlock recieved some criticism from fans for deaparting from the tone of the previous seasons, and Moffat has resonded to these criticisms saying, "The third was good days, me and my pal and my pal’s wife. Those are golden days. The missing element in a lot of Sherlock Holmes adaptations is allowing it to be funny. There’s a lot of humor in Sherlock Holmes, and it’s ignored in a lot of adaptations." The writer was then asked what will seperate season 4 from the previous season, his answer: "It's consequences. Chickens come to roost. It’s dark in some ways—obviously it’s great fun and a Sherlock Holmes romp and all that—but there’s a sense of… things… coming back to bite you. It’s not a safe, sensible way to live. It’s hilarious and exhilarating some days, but some days it’s going to be bloody frightening."
Another thing season 3 had was each episode would, for the most part, bring a different genre and tone. For example ,“The Hounds of Baskerville” was more of a crime-horror, and according to Steven Moffat it seems we'll be seeing something similar happen with the next season. "We’re trying to [be] as varied in tone as the stories are. Everybody tends to think of the Hollywood version of Sherlock Holmes. The films tend to be like Hound of the Baskervilles, with horror and crime. You go to the stories and Moriarty is only in one of them. Quite often, Sherlock is investigating small domestic crimes, and quite often there’s no crime at all, and there’s a lot of humor." Finally, Moffat once again omments on the different tone of "The Sign of Three", saying, "so The Sign of Three you might think is a huge departure for Sherlock Holmes if you don’t know Sherlock Holmes very well. But it’s not. The mysteries he solves, and the level of humor and the interaction with Sherlock and Watson is sort of right."
