We have to admit, we panicked a little bit when Sherlock was left in the loop. Will Benedict Cumberbatch grace our screens again as the beloved detective? We just didn't know.

But, now Masterpiece and PBS have announced that season four is in production. Hurrah!

"Sherlock series four—here we go again! Whatever else we do, wherever we all go, all roads lead back to Baker Street, and it always feels like coming home," said co-creator and writer Steven Moffat.

"Ghosts of the past are rising in the lives of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson and terror and tragedy are looming. This is the story we've been telling from the beginning and it's about to reach its climax."

Masterpiece also promised that there will be a few surprises, such as John and Mary starting a family.

"This is the kind of news that has our audience cheering. 

"Along with our millions of fans, I can't wait to see what the boys will do next."
