he highly anticipated British drama Sherlock will return to the TV screen on Jan. 1, 2017, BBC unexpectedly announced during a popular food program The Great British Bake Off finale on Oct. 31.
Starting with the lines “Did you miss me?” said by James Moriarty, antagonist of the TV series, the 90-second teaser created a sense of mystery and British humor.
However, the fourth season may be enveloped in a dark atmosphere, according to Steven Moffat, screenwriter of Sherlock. Words emerged during the trailer that said: “Everything they know will be tested... Everyone they know is under threat.”
