What we know so far about Sherlock's 4th Season

After the horrible news of Doctor Who (we have to wait until 2017 to see the new season!), there's also a few details of Sherlock's next season. Here's a small list about all those confirmed:

100% True:

1. It will be set in the current time back in London after the events of "The Abominable Bride".

2. There will be three episodes in total (just the standard as always).

3. They are starting to shoot this spring (April-ish).

4. It won't be the last season, there's a 5th season already confirmed.

5. There will be a much darker tone than usual.

6. It will have an intense ending with consequences that will change the life of the main characters.

7. Moriarty is back but he's not alive.

8. Release date: January 2017!



50% True (possible spoilers, read at your own risk)

1. A secret organization, maybe called "The Red-Headed League" is using Moriarty's persona to fright everyone. This means the Moriarty seen at the screens of all London are part of their plan.

2. Sherlock and Mycroft will have a closer brother-relationship after some events.

3. Sherlock and Watson's relationship may not be that friendly as always.

4. Irene Adler may show up again (this is more a wish than a rumour, I'd love to see her again!).

5. Mary Watson will die at the end of the season. Her character is killed by Moriarty in the books, so this may be the "consequences" and "darker tone" they are talking about by killing off a main character.
