In early January, the first episode of the fourth season of the detective series Sherlock will premiere on the BBC channel. Watch what awaits Holmes and his companion in the new episode of one of the most popular crime detectives of modern times.
The English series "Sherlock" tells the story of the modern Sherlock Holmes, a famous detective described in the books of Arthur Conan Doyle, first published in 1887. The show premiered on BBC on July 25, 2010, with an episode titled "A Study in Pink." Despite three seasons having been filmed, the number of episodes barely exceeded ten - there are no more than four in each part.
Announcement of the 1st episode of the 4th season
The first episode of the new season is titled "The Six Thatchers." The plot will be based on the story "The Six Napoleons," which was published in 1904. The actions begin in Holmes' apartment, where an inspector from Scotland Yard visits. In London, a criminal is operating, who breaks into shops in search of plaster figures. But he doesn't steal them, he smashes them right on the floor. Naturally, Watson and Sherlock deduce that he is actually looking for something inside them. This sets off a chase for the thief in hot pursuit.
The two main roles are played by Martin Freeman (Dr. Watson) and Benedict Cumberbatch (the renowned detective Sherlock Holmes). The creators of the show are Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. The filming of the project is extending for such unprecedented periods due to the busy schedule of the main actor, B. Cumberbatch, who was recently featured in the films "The Imitation Game," "Black Mass," and "Doctor Strange." Since its premiere, the show has had 12 episodes. The fourth season started on January 1, 2016, with a special episode titled "The Abominable Bride," which was tied to New Year's and Christmas.
