For those of you who are on pins and needles about the next season of “Sherlock” (who wouldn’t be with that cliffhanger ending!), series co-writer and co-creator Mark Gatiss has given some insight into the next season’s episodes.

According to IGN UK, Gatiss told an audience at Kapow! Comic Con in London that the next three episodes will center around the three most popular stories in the Sherlock Holmes canon. “We knew after having a successful first run that the natural order would be to do the three most famous [stories], being a version of ‘A Scandal in Bohemia’, a version of ‘Hound of the Baskervilles’ and a version of ‘The Final Problem’.”

He goes on to talk about some of the issues that will be dealt with in the next series. “There’s the question of how to go out on a cliffhanger and then the thematic things of the three stories, where we were trying to get to, and what Sherlock and John’s relationship is a little further on,” he said. “You can’t just go back to ‘You have no emotions.’ ‘I don’t care.’ You’ve got to move on somewhere and make sure the other characters have something of a journey too.”
