The roads we walk have demons beneath and yours have been waiting for a very long time.

The second trailer for the upcoming fourth season of Sherlock has been released. The tone of the trailer matches the teaser that was released recently. Ominous, intense and actually quite scary, we see Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) having a crisis of sorts. Not many details have been released about the 3-episode season called “The Six Thatchers”. We know that Toby Jones will be playing a villain. We’ve seen teases of Moriarty re-appearing – as a ghost, a figment in Sherlock’s imagination, in the flesh? We also know that Mary and John Watson (Amanda Abbington and Martin Freeman) are expanding their family. The bits and pieces we have been shown however do much to build excitement, with a little side of terror, for the upcoming season.

Sherlock waits to see where Moriarty will make his posthumous move. One mysterious case in particular baffles Scotland Yard – but Sherlock is more interested in a seemingly-trivial detail. Why is someone destroying images of the late Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher? Is there a madman on the loose? Or is there a much darker purpose at work? Something with its roots deep in Mary Watson’s past. ~IMDB

Co-creators, writers and executive producers Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss say: “Whatever else we do, wherever we all go, all roads lead back to Baker Street, and it always feels like coming home. Ghosts of the past are rising in the lives of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson and terror and tragedy are looming. This is the story we’ve been telling from the beginning and it’s about to reach its climax.” 

Season 4 of Sherlock returns with “The Six Thatchers” January 1, 2017 on Masterpiece on PBS.
