LONDON -- Well, the bad news is that the final episode of Sherlock Season 4 has now been broadcast, and the adventures of everyone's favourite sardonic detective are wrapped for another year.

But for every story that ends, a new one is just beginning.

Over the last week, sightings of Will Ferrell around the University of Greenwich in London have been at an all-time high.

According to the university, the actor is currently on set filming Sherlock parody Holmes and Watson -- a comedy scheduled for 2018 that will also star Ralph Fiennes and Hugh Laurie.

Plenty of people have tweeted about spotting Ferrell.

Someone even managed to snap a picture of the man himself in action.

Fear not, detectives: Sherlock won't be away for long.

H/T Twitter Moments.
