‘Sherlock’ Season 4 Air Date, News & Update: Benedict Cumberbatch BBC Series To Give Mary Watson A Violent End?

"Sherlock Season 4" will pack a few punches and Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) may have to get ready to lend John Watson (Martin Freeman) the BBC detective's shoulder. Although "Sherlock Season 4" promises humor in S4 episodes, tragedy is also there and it may mean a violent end for Mary Watson (Amanda Abbington).

With work on "Sherlock Season 4" all wrapped up, analysis of previously dropped clues by writer-producer Steven Moffat, writer-actor Mark Gatiss (Mycroft Holmes) and the BBC series cast have heightened. Foremost is the warning that "Sherlock Season 4" has tragedy waiting in the wings for BBC series fans.

  To date, clues seem to point to Mary Watson as the "Sherlock Season 4" casualty as Heat reports. In an earlier report, Radio Times highlighted a social media post by Amanda Abbington, which seems to clue in on a Mary Watson death.

Said post noticeably indicates that Mary Watson had been given a "Golden Wrap," which may mean a particularly significant or even elaborate ending, in "Sherlock Season 4." While "Sherlock" fans are somewhat getting ready to say goodbye to Mary Watson, one wonders how her run as John's lady and Holmes' friend will end as Radio Times asked.

Sherlock fans would recall that Mary Watson did not start out as a friend to either Holmes or John. Mary Watson, in fact, had a secret identity as an assassin, who shot Sherlock Holmes.

While Mary Watson seems to have turned her life around and Sherlock Holmes is simply waiting to become a first time uncle in Season 4, the truth may be a bit more complicated. Parent Herald cites reports of Amanda Abbington revealing that Mary Watson will be up to some trickery again in "Sherlock Season 4."

If Mary Watson resumed becoming an assassin again, then "Sherlock Season 4" becomes more dangerously close to being Amanda Abbington's final run with Holmes and John. Given how "Sherlock Season 4" is also much more action-packed then previous seasons, a violent goodbye between Mary Watson and John along with Holmes is not impossible.

The "Sherlock Season 4" premiere is expected to air on BBC in January 2017. Do you believe Mary Watson will end with "Sherlock Season 4?"
