A Sherlock Wedding? Show’s Creator Drops Three Season 3 Clues – What Do They Mean?

Where’s Sherlock Holmes when you need him? Sherlock creator Steven Moffat dropped three one-word spoilers on Twitter Friday in advance of the show’s third season, which goes into production in January ahead of an expected Fall 2013 launch on PBS. The clues he offered were, “Rat. Wedding. Bow.” (Keep in mind, the three words Moffat dropped ahead of Season 2 last year were, “Woman. Hound. Fall.”)  What does it all mean?! Nancy Tartaglione of our sister site Deadline speculated it could mean the Arthur Conan Doyle source material used for the episodes will be “The Giant Rat Of Sumatra,” “The Noble Bachelor” and “His Last Bow.”

Sherlock’s Benedict Cumberbatch Breaks His Silence on CBS’ Elementary: ‘I’d Be Frightened’

When word got out that Elementary– CBS’ Sherlock drama — would feature a female Watson (Lucy Liu) opposite Jonny Lee Miller’s Holmes, many of the iconic sleuth’s fans got their knickers in a knot.

However, Benedict Cumberbatch, who currently portrays the detective on PBS’ Emmy-nominated Sherlock, was not one of them. In fact, he’s remained altogether mum about the controversial gender switch… at least until now.

“If I were the [producer], I’d be frightened of the dynamic of male friendship that you’d lose,” he confesses to TVLine, “because that is obviously the bedrock of the books as well. [Now] there might be sexual tension between Joan [Watson] and Sherlock, which is [a different dynamic than you'd have] between the two men. So, that’s a new thing to explore.”

And not necessarily a bad thing to explore. Cumberbatch – who is friends with Miller and even appeared opposite him in the UK stage production of Frankenstein – believes the world is big enough for multiple interpretations of Sherlock. (And, having seen the jolly good pilot, I’m inclined to agree.) “I wish them luck, I really do,” the actor insists. “I think it will be great. It will be a different spin on it, because obviously, theirs is modern-day as well, so it needs to be different from ours, and I think the more differences, the better, to be honest.

“I don’t see why they shouldn’t co-exist with us,” he adds, “I don’t think they’ll steal our audience. I think people who are Holmes fans who think they do a good job of it will have a treat in watching ours and the films. So I wish them good luck!”
