The slate also reveals that Rachel Talalay is directing the premiere episode. Talalay directed the Tank Girl movie, but more recently directed the Series 8 and 9 finales if Doctor Who.
Sherlock is a modern reimagining of Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved detective. The series stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Doctor John Watson. The show has been on a long hiatus since the Series 3 finale, but came back for a New Year's Day special titled Sherlock: The Abominable Bride.
Sherlock Series 4 doesn't have an official premiere date yet, but it is expected to air in 2017.
