Moffat also shared some interesting details about the upcoming season during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. He said, "It's consequences. Chickens come home to roost. It's dark in some ways - obviously it's great fun and a Sherlock Holmes romp and all that - but there's a sense of things coming back to bite you. It's not a safe, sensible way to live. It's hilarious and exhilarating some days, but some days it's going to be bloody frightening."

"Sherlock" Season 4 is expected to hit the small screen by January 2017.
