"Sherlock" Season 4 is expected to air on January 1 next year. Nevertheless, its lead actor Benedict Cumberbatch might take a long hiatus before the Season 5.
MNR Daily had learned that the much-awaited "Sherlock" Season 4 will have three episodes that will surely hook the viewers. It can be remembered that the titles of the first two episodes was already released and they are "The Six Thatchers" and "The Lying Detective," correspondingly. Nevertheless, there has been no information available on the title of the third episode.
"The Six Thatchers" is a blog post in the "Sherlock" affiliated John Watson Blog. Meanwhile, the second episode, "The Lying Detective" is speculated to follow the story of "The Dying Detective" where Sherlock lead actor Cumberbatch attempts to persuade those around him that he is already dying due to a rare disease so that the suspect, Culverton Smith, would admit the crimes.
On January 2014, it was notable that the executive producer and co-creator of the series Steven Moffat already revealed that the team was not only planning Season 4, but also Season 5 of the series. But then, with scheduling conflicts, the production for the fourth season did not start until April. Everyone seems to be busy with different projects especially Benedict Cumberbatch, who has hinted that it'll be a while before fans can see another installment of the series.
Meanwhile, Parent Herald reported that Cumberbatch was able to share notes with fellow Sherlock Holmes Robert Downey Jr., who plays "Iron Man" in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Aside from conversing about the "Sherlock" between them, AOL also stated that Robert Downey Jr. gave Benedict Cumberbatch pep talks on joining Marvel as "Doctor Strange."
So for the avid fans of "Sherlock" it is just almost a half and a month until the TV series' airing.
