Sherlock Season 4 Confirmed As Benedict Cumberbatch Graces Time Magazine Cover Of International Edition: U.S. Fans Spew Outrage On Twitter
Benedict Cumberbatch is getting a lot of love, not only because he and "Sherlock" co-star Martin Freeman have single-handedly greenlit season 4, but because the actor is causing heart palpitations with his Time Magazine cover.
"We had to inform the BBC that Martin and Benedict had commissioned a new series," says "Sherlock" executive producer Steven Moffat.
"They signed themselves up. They both announced that they were carrying on -- so that's good. Benedict, at some red carpet event somewhere, said he was carrying on forever. Martin, at another one, said, 'Yep, series four is happening.'"
Although "Sherlock" season 3 has yet to even air, no doubt fans of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are happy to see their favorite duo for another run as Sherlock and Watson.
In the meantime, Benedict Cumberbatch fans can also rejoice because the actor has graced the cover of TIME Magazine...the international edition that is.
The decision to have Benedict Cumberbatch on the cover of all the editions except the U.S. edition has caused outrage amongst American fans, and the internet has some of the best evidence of that.
