Well, Mark Gatiss has announced the three words for Sherlock series 3 as he and Moffatt did for s2.
His initial Tweet is here, later admitted to be fake. (At least one person has already posted a fic to AO3 apparently based on the fakes.)
And here's the real thing (I guess).
Here you can read speculation.
Feel free also to speculate in comments to this entry, unless you have actual spoilers based on real information, in which case you should take it elsewhere! I limit my spoilers greatly. (Spoilers for the three words are likely in comments, by the way.)
I think Moffatt and Gatiss have "wedding" to send slashers into a tizzy. Who's marrying whom? I think they're giggling at fans. If John really does marry Mary Morstan:
a) she had better be even more awesome than Sarah in s1 and
b) they had better not bring her in just to kill her, because then I would be VERY ANGRY INDEED.
On the other hand, weddings and engagements come up repeatedly in the stories and novels, so someone other than John could be getting married.
For those of us wondering: there will be a Cabin Pressure series 4! The FAQ is actually quite interesting, with at worst a couple of very, very minor spoilers for those of us who haven't heard the entire series (although I own it, so I can't explain why I haven't made it through yet; I treasure each episode).
And can I just quote my favorite bits?
Q) What do you mean you don't know? Get on with writing it, you lazy writer!
A) Fair point, I am a lazy writer, but on this occasion that's not actually the problem. By stupidly casting incredibly talented and in-demand actors (plus me), we've accidentally made it really really hard to get everyone together in a room at the same time. But we're working on it, and the intention is still to get it at least recorded, and ideally broadcast, this year.
John Finnemore sounds very much like Arthur in my head! I think one of my LJ friends, or a friend of a friend, actually made it to a recording session and said he really is very much like Arthur, except a lot smarter.
I also love the bits where he writes:
You can buy the newly released CDs of the first three series from Amazon. You can buy downloads from Amazon or Pozzitive's online store. Someone has put all the episodes up on YouTube. And someone else, or a collection of someone elses, have put up transcripts of all the episodes, which you can easily find by googling 'Cabin Pressure transcripts'. I only get money from the first two of these, but personally speaking, I have no problem with the last two ways. (The BBC probably don't agree about that.)
and that he's very happy to have fans write CP fic, but he can't read it and won't ever let anyone else write for the show.

Episode one will be the reveal and fall out - Episode two will bring us back to normal via a case (rather than a sexual identity crisis) - Episode three will very probably introduce a new threat and end in a (I really hope not as these actors at this point are going to have to decide if this show continues to be worth their time and I really would like to be left with some sort of acceptable wrap up if it all goes to hell) a cliffhanger.
Yea for Cabin Pressure! I did anticipate the 'getting everyone in a room' problem, and that has been my main concern about continued CP. I will be a patient fan, though, I will! I will just be happy it is coming back! (eventually :-( *goes off to listen to S3 again...it is a very happy season...)

Cabin Pressure at least takes less time by the actors to make, although they all have to be there on the same days, which isn't necessarily the case with the last three I mentioned from the cast of Sherlock.
As for the three episodes of Sherlock: I don't think they need a "new threat," but I fear Moffatt and Gatiss disagree. I think they can do enough with the relationships among Sherlock, John, Lestrade, and Molly that they don't need to introduce a nemesis (I see Mrs. Hudson's relationship with the others as largely static, though very enjoyable that way). Then again, I didn't think they needed a heavy Moriarty arc for either of the seasons they've already done, so what do I know? Just give me casefic and I'm happy! (Casefic with arguments about milk and who uses which laptop or phone and awkward friendship moments and weird misunderstandings. . . .)
