Steven Moffat Hints At Sherlock Climax

Much has been made about the casting of Benedict Cumberbatch as Marvel’s Doctor Strange, though before the actor lights up the screen as Sorcerer Supreme later this year he’ll be stepping into the shoes of another mercurial genius, for Sherlock season 4 has officially entered production.

Reuniting Cumberbatch with his indispensable partner-in-crime, Martin Freeman, the three-part season promises laughter, tears, shocks, surprises and extraordinary cases, though no airdate was announced at this time. Rachel Talalay is on board to helm the premiere. Looking to the show’s future, Sherlock co-showrunner Steven Moffat hinted at what lies in store for Holmes and Watson, not to mention how the story is about to reach its climax.

He said “Sherlock series four here we go again! Whatever else we do, wherever we all go, all roads lead back to Baker Street, and it always feels like coming home. Ghosts of the past are rising in the lives of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson and terror and tragedy are looming. This is the story we’’ve been telling from the beginning and it’s about to reach its climax”.
