What is the country of origin listed for BBC Sherlock?

The country of origin listed for BBC Sherlock is the United Kingdom.

Sherlock is a British mystery crime drama television series created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. It reimagines Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories in modern-day London, with Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr John Watson.

The series was produced primarily by Hartswood Films for the BBC, with BBC Wales involved in production. It also received American co-production support from WGBH for PBS’s Masterpiece strand, and it aired internationally, including in the United States. Those international partnerships do not change the listed country of origin: the programme is identified as a United Kingdom production.

Sherlock ran for four series from 2010 to 2017, alongside a Victorian-era special, “The Abominable Bride,” broadcast in 2016. Although the stories unfold mainly in London, filming was based substantially in Cardiff, with North Gower Street in London serving as the exterior for 221B Baker Street.

Canada, Ireland and the United States are not the country of origin listed for the series. The United States was an important broadcasting and funding partner, but Sherlock remains a British television production made for the BBC.
