"Sherlock" Season 4 Episode 1 will be premiering on January 1 next year, with the title "The Six Thatchers." In this episode, Sherlock and Watson will be unraveling a mysterious case in Scotland Yard, which will then pique the interest of the titular detective.
The official synopsis of the first episode of "Sherlock" Season 4 had already been released. It states that Sherlock would be interested in a trivial detail in their newest case.
As someone destroys the images of the late Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, "Sherlock" Season 4 would dig deep, whether this is just a coincidence or a bigger conspiracy. The premiere episode would then be linked to the past of Mary Watson.
The latest preview for "Sherlock" Season 4 Episode 1 has also been filled with a lot of emotions, as the famous detective confesses his love. While this is very uncharacteristic of the lead character, it may have something to do with the villain Moriarty, making his move in the premiere.
The "Sherlock" Season 4 preview also had some ominous undertones to it, as it is narrated by the new villain, Culverton Smith. He said that "the roads we walk have demons beneath... and yours have been waiting for a very long time" while Sherlock is seen standing in front of a house on fire.
Sherlock then tries to convince his partner, Dr. Watson, that it is actually not a trick, but a plan. However, the supposed plan has not been revealed, which is deemed to be a very personal one. "Sherlock" Season 4 may then see a more personal approach by the detective to deal with his new case.
The villain then asked Sherlock what the worst thing he could do to his best friends is. The "Sherlock" Season 4 preview then moved to a more shocking scene, which showed a pretty tired Sherlock inside a dark room. His friends are behind him, then he makes the unexpected confession of saying he loves them. "Sherlock" Season 4 Episode 1 will be airing on January 1 on BBC One.
