Sherlock is about to comeback with season 4 spoilers and updates piling up for the avid fans of the show. David Moffat, the executive producer of the show revealed some plans regarding the upcoming season.

Moffat said that the upcoming season will start its shooting around spring of 2016 which makes the release date around late of 2016 or even January of 2017. Whether the shooting will be continuous or will be like the previous season wherein shootings are interrupted by other schedules of the casts still remains unclear. 

According to Moffat, this season will be more humorous and funny compared to the previous seasons of the show. "The missing element in a lot of Sherlock Holmes adaptations is allowing it to be funny," Moffat explained. "There's a lot of humor in Sherlock Holmes, and it's ignored in a lot of adaptations."

Furthermore, Moffat had summed up the theme of the upcoming season into one definite yet exhilarating word "consequence", further stating that , "[Season 4] is going to be... I suppose you'd say... consequences. It's consequences. Chickens come 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."

Speculations that old nemesis of Sherlock might be back to haunt Sherlock as the previous season ended with an intriguing note from somebody, "miss me?" the note reads is speculated to come from Jim Moriarty, the mortal enemy of Sherlock.

Sherlock Season 4 is a continuum of British television series that started airing on BBC in July 2010 and is considered as a contemporary adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories.
