Martin Freeman new series - Angelyne

Martin Freeman on 'Breeders' Season 2, 'Black Panther 2', 'Sherlock', and Edgar Wright

Collider: We recently spoke to Benedict Cumberbatch, and when we asked him for a Sherlock update and whether that chapter feels like it’s been closed or whether you still hold out hope for more, he said that because of how busy you all still are, that it might be more likely to do one movie, as opposed to another season. Do you think that’s more likely if, if it happens?

FREEMAN: Yeah, I think it is possible. It might be more likely, yeah. I think we’ve all left it so that it’s not a full stop, it’s just a big ellipsis or a big pause. Maybe it’s because we don’t want to say, “Oh, it’s a full stop.” I’m not sure. To be honest, I’m a big believer in not going past your sell by date, in anything, really. Don’t outstay your welcome. So, I suppose we would have to see if we have outstayed our welcome, when the time comes, and whether people have moved on to something else. So, I don’t know. I really liked doing it. I’m very proud of the show. It’s one of the best written things I’ve done. It’s one of the best directed things I’ve done. I really enjoy doing it, but I don’t know. It’s been awhile now. It’s four years since a new one was on. So, yeah, maybe the more likely thing is a one-off.
