It’s been almost two years since the acclaimed BBC drama has released a new 90-minute episode. The final episode of series 3, “His Last Vow,” premiered in the U.S. in February 2014. All of the show’s leads have expressed interest in a full fourth series, but due to scheduling conflicts, production has been delayed several times.
