Sherlock - Steven Moffat reveal new villains and more

Sherlock co-creator Steven Moffat has suggested that the detective will not be facing his original nemesis Moriarty in future series.

As far as fans know, Moriarty died at the end of series two, having shot himself ahead of Sherlock’s now legendary dive from the top of a hospital building.

But if Sherlock can survive that – and we know that he does – could his arch-enemy also have faked his death?

While Moffat doesn’t answer that question for sure, he has made it clear that Moriarty (Andrew Scott) will not feature heavily in future series of Sherlock and that fans should expect new adversaries for Benedict Cumberbatch's detective.

“Moriarty’s a one-shot deal in the original [books]. I don’t want [Sherlock] to turn into a show that’s about one villain and one hero,” said Moffat.“Moriarty was great because he was a surprise. Every time you bring him back he won’t be as big a surprise.
