Bad news is it's 1080/50i (just like UK's release of Season 1) so it won't play on most US players/TV's

Looks like I'll have to wait

Airs in US on PBS in May 2012

Of course it plays fine for you with your Region Free Oppo.

Ripley meant that the series is PAL format (50i) and thus a standard US Region A Player will not play the disc as US/A Players are NTSC format.

Any Oppo will play the disc as they have built in PAL -> NTSC Converters.

Just watched A Scandal in Belgravia on BBC Canada...

Wow.

I love how they dealt with the Sherlock/Moriarty cliffhanger from last season. A very intense 90 minutes. Cannot wait till next week.

I Love this show. Season 1 was really good, Season 2 is fantastic. LOVE THIS SHOW. A must watch. I ordered series 2 from UK and it did not work on my PS3.

That's because both the seasons were released 1080/50i, so they won't play on most TV's in the US. We just have to wait over here

I just started watching this last night on Netflix and I'm really enjoying it. I had to turn it off half way through though. It kept waking up my wife and pulling her into the show that she couldn't go to sleep

SHERLOCK Creators Tease Three Key Words for Season 3; Set to Debut Fall 2013

The wait for season three of the BBC series Sherlock just got considerably tougher. Series creators/showrunners Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss just revealed three tantalizing key words for the upcoming season, giving Sherlock fans a hint as to what classic Arthur Conan Doyle stories the show may be pulling from in season three. The modern spin on the Sherlock Holmes character debuted in 2010 to a wildly positive response. The chemistry between Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock and Martin Freeman’s Watson is dynamite, and Moffat and Gatiss have thus far cooked up six 90-minute episodes of some of the most entertaining and enthralling television we’ve seen in quite a long while.

Season two came to a close with one hell of a conclusion/cliffhanger, and Moffat and Gatiss have now spoken up to tease what’s to come in the show’s third season (which will likely debut in fall 2013). Hit the jump to see what they had to say.

The three words used to tease audiences for season two were “Woman, Hound, Fall,” which of course referred to the inclusion of Irene Adler in the first episode, The Hound of the Baskervilles in the second episode, and The Reichenebach Fall in the finale. Speaking at the Edinburgh TV festival today (via Deadline), Moffat teased the following three key words for season three: Rat, Wedding, Bow.

Keen Sherlock Holmes fans will recognize that these words could be hinting that the three stories told in the third season will be The Giant Rat of Sumatra (which was never actually expanded into a full story by Doyle), The Noble Bachelor, and His Last Bow. The latter was the final chronological installment of Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes series, so this could indeed be a hint that the third season of Sherlock may be the last. This wouldn’t be entirely shocking, as production for the show takes up a considerable amount of time and Moffat also has to balance running Doctor Who.

Moreover, Cumberbatch and Freeman have understandably become much more in demand since the debut of Sherlock. The two are poised to be launched into the mainstream in the near future, as Cumberbatch will be seen as the villain in Star Trek 2 and Freeman leads Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy as Biblo Baggins. Cumberbatch also “appears” in The Hobbit as the voice of the dragon Smaug.

Moffat and Gatiss revealed that production on season three of Sherlock is poised to begin in January and is expected to return in fall 2013 (possibly August). Past seasons have aired in the UK first, followed a few months later by the American broadcast.

Just finished watching Season 2 on blu-ray and I must saw everything about this show is amazing. Can't wait for season 3, and how they will explain what happened. 2013 is going to be a long wait too.

‘Sherlock’ Planned to Continue Into a Fourth Season

Yesterday the news came out that the third season of BBC’s Sherlock is about to go into production, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman reprising their lead roles as modern day versions of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.

There was some question as to whether the third season might be the show’s last. Scheduling the long shoot is difficult, as each of the three episodes per season is basically structured like a mini-movie, and Cumberbatch and Freeman are increasingly busy with movie careers.

But now Cumberbatch has confirmed that a fourth season is planned.

Speaking to RadioTimes, Cumberbatch said,

That’s great news, and frankly is more than I ever expected we’d get. I love the vision of Sherlock created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, but always assumed that it would have a pretty limited life on TV, for the reasons mentioned above. Moffat is pretty busy as well, so a fourth season seems like a bonus.

I love Sherlock.

Shame us people in the states will have to wait even longer for the third series to come on PBS.

[NoFro]

These guys are in two of the biggest film franchises currently going and this is still the thing I'm most excited about seeing them in. So excited that they'll be filming more episodes soon, I feel like the long long wait is going to be worth it

Seriously, just thinking about them getting back into those roles has me giddy.

[Monolithium]

I will gladly wait two years for four and a half hours of high quality entertainment!

[Nisei]

I wish they'd cast someone else for the main character. I find his face very unpleasant to look at.

[Groge511]

Love this show! Great news about a 4th season!

Plot Details and Title Revealed for SHERLOCK Season 3 Episode 1

Anticipation is high for the upcoming third season of the excellent BBC series Sherlock, and production on the three-episode season recently got underway in the UK. Though the episodes won’t begin to air until this coming winter, executive producer Mark Gatiss has taken to Twitter to reveal the title of the first episode and, subsequently, plot details have also surfaced by way of the Arthur Conan Doyle source material for the story. Since I know not everyone is completely caught up with season two of Sherlock (you should really get on that), I’ll leave the spoilerish material until after the jump.

If you haven’t yet seen season two of Sherlock, be warned that you will be very much spoiled if you keep reading.

Again, massive spoilers for Sherlock season two lurk below. Continue at your own risk.

Gatiss unveiled the following image on his Twitter early Monday morning along with the caption:

Metro adds that the first episode of season three will indeed be based on the original Doyle story The Adventure Of The Empty House, which explains the return of Sherlock following his apparent demise. If you’ll remember, the finale of season two found Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock faking his death following a confrontation with Moriarty, with Martin Freeman’s Watson mourning the loss of his dear friend. Doyle’s Empty House chronicles Holmes’ miraculous survival, and Gatiss previously spoke fondly about the story and its explanation for Holmes’ fate:

Doyle’s Empty House is also noteworthy for introducing the villain Sebastian Moran, but obviously specific plot details for the episode are being kept firmly under wraps so we don’t know if Moran will be a part of Sherlock or not. Jeremy Lovering is directing this first installment of the third season, taking over for Sherlock seasons one and two director Paul McGuigan who is busy prepping a feature film adaptation of Frankenstein at Fox.

I've been watching this show as the first two seasons are available on Amazon Prime. Wow, this is a great show.

I just finished A Scandal in Belgravia, and that must have been the best episode yet. I must savor the next two episodes.

Maybe I should have waited closer to the debut of season 3 before starting though, as I hear the third episode of season 2 ends on a major cliffhanger.

This'll definitely be a series worth owning on BD, though I think I'll wait to see if the price ever goes down to around $15 or so per season.
