‘Sherlock’ Season 4 Air Date, News & Update: BBC Series Confirms James Moriarty Return In Mysterious S4 Episode 3? Holmes Nemesis Is Sherrinford?

"Sherlock Season 4" from the BBC and producers Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss revealed that Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and John Watson (Martin Freeman) will finally reunite with James Moriarty in the mysterious Episode 3. The BBC recently revealed "Sherlock Season 4" titles "The Six Thatchers" for Episode 1 and "The Lying Detective" for Episode 2 and may further unveil in Episode 3 that James Moriarty and Sherrinford are connected.

The title for "Sherlock Season 4" Episode 3 was withheld building up curiosity for the S4 finale. Fittingly "Sherlock Season 4" Episode 3, which is directed by "Wallander" and "Skins" director Benjamin Caron, will be when Holmes and John Watson finally meet up with James Moriarty as indicated in IMDb.

Interestingly, "Sherlock Season 4" Episode 3, which brings in James Moriarty, is also the same episode where the BBC series is believed to connect Holmes and John Watson to S4 clue Sherrinford. Parent Herald cites Nerdist in proposing that Holmes and John Watson will find that James Moriarty and Sherrinford are strongly linked.

Only Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and Andrew Scott have been named by IMDb for "Sherlock Season 4" Episode 3. Will Holmes and John Watson discover in "Sherlock Season 4" Episode 3 that James Moriarty and Sherrinford are one and the same as Nerdist suggested?

Toby Jones as Culverton Smith is indeed joining Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman in "The Lying Detective" to wreak havoc in the lives of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. "Sherlock Season 4" Episode 2 is directed by Dr. Who director Nick Hurran.

The "Sherlock Season 4" premiere, called "The Six Thatchers" and directed by "The Flash" director Rachel Talalay, will have Sian Brooke and Lindsay Duncan join the twosome of Holmes and John Watson. "Sherlock Season 4" Episode 1 has as big a mystery as seeing James Moriarty in Episode 3 since "The Six Thatchers," as a blog entry by John Watson, supposedly refers to a case that Holmes solved as Radio Times points out.

The BBC is anticipated to bring Holmes and John Watson back on air with "Sherlock Season 4" Episode 1 on New Year's Day of 2017. Have you traced the link between James Moriarty and Sherrinford or do you prefer to be deliciously shocked alongside Holmes and John Watson in "Sherlock Season 4?"
