'Sherlock' Season 4 News: Show to Return Soon? See Watsons With Their Baby In Behind-the-Scene Photos!
BBC One's hit drama TV series "Sherlock" is now currently in a filming process for its highly anticipated Season 4. Showrunners have been teasing that the latest installment will find Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and John Watson (Martin Freeman) are up to encounter some new challenges ahead which may include this particular villain whom fans have already known in the past.
A report from the Daily Mail last month published some behind-the-scene photos showing the series stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and the latter's real-life partner, Amanda Abbington. The three, who plays the role of Sherlock, Dr. Watson, and Mary, respectively, can be seen walking along a busy street. Freeman, in particular, was carrying a carrier, which the publication revealed to be a decoy baby. As further detailed, the former CIA agent and the military doctor are having a baby daughter. The new family member will definitely bring some new dynamics to the couple and to the sleuth, as well.
Meanwhile, series co-creator Mark Gatiss teased to Entertainment Weekly that Season 4 may see the return of one prominent villain. The EP said that he has already finished writing for the first episode. Speaking further, he told EW that there'd be more adventures for the characters.
"All I can say is, this is a major, life-changing series for the regulars. The repercussions of Moriarty's apparent return are far-reaching. It's very big stuff," he said to EW.
As of the release date, Freeman said in a statement made during one of his appearances in the Graham Norton Show that the show might return to the small screen later this year.
"We are back filming now and the three shows will, I imagine, be out around Christmas," the "Fargo" actor said, according to Independent UK.
The latest edition of the show was released last Christmas titled "The Abominable Bride." Check out the trailer below:
