Telemystery: Sherlock Season 3 Production Delayed

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the production schedule for the third season of Sherlock has slipped from January to March, suggesting that the earliest the new episodes would air is late Fall 2013 on BBC … and early 2014 here in the US.

Series co-creator Steven Moffat hinted at the three storylines of the new season back in August with these three words: "Rat. Wedding. Bow." However, co-creator Mark Gatiss has already announced that the first episode of Season 3 would be loosely based on "The Adventure of the Empty House", the first story by Arthur Conan Doyle set after Holmes's "death" at the Reichenbach Falls. There is no obvious connection between the three teaser words and this story.
