Sherlock Season 4 teased in new trailer unveiled at Comic-Con

PanARMENIAN.Net - Comic-Con got a first look at Season 4 of Sherlock during Sunday, July 24's panel for the British mystery series, the Deadline reports.

The trailer promises that “everything they know will be tested” and teases an intense, surprisingly action-heavy fourth season that seems closer to John le Carré than Arthur Conan Doyle. In the hall to discuss the upcoming season are star Benedict Cumberbatch, co-star Amanda Abbington, co-creators Mark Gatis and Steven Moffat and producer Sue Vertue.

Benedict, Abbington and Gatis all agreed this morning that this season will be the darkest thing the showrunners have ever written for the show – “a real emotional roller coaster,” said Cumberbatch, but, Gatis added, “with jokes.”

Not shockingly, the subject of the show’s future came up during the fan Q&A. In a recent interview, Moffat said he would be “mildly surprised” if Season 4 is the last, the mildness due mainly to the busy schedules of stars Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. A fan brought this up and prodded Cumberbatch to agree onstage to come back for Seasons 5, 6 and 7, and after some joking around, Gatis said, “We can exclusively reveal that there won’t be a fifth season … but there will be a sixth.”

More seriously, Moffat and Gatis clarified that they’ve never said Season 4 would be the last and that they didn’t mean to imply it, chalking it up to the imprecision of the interview process. Or, as Moffat put it, interviewiers “making it up.” However, they didn’t confirm a Season 5, so obviously the show has been cancelled. Just kidding!

In the end, the panel did manage to let slip what looks like a pretty big clue about the upcoming season. Asked by moderator Chris Hardwick to provide three key words about Season 4, Gatis and Moffat instead opted to provide three names: Thatcher, Smith and Sherrinford.
