‘Sherlock’ Season Four Trailer: Sherlock And Watson Return For A Dark Season
It’s been almost three years since the third season ofSherlock. Fans were treated to a Victorian-era special episode,Sherlock: The Abominable Bride, at the beginning of the year, but Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Doctor Watson (Martin Freeman) are finally about to return for a full season. Starting next month, they’re back on the BBC in the UK and on PBS in the United States onJanuary 1st, but you’re able to also find them in theaters for the series finale.
Below, watch theSherlockseason four trailer find out where you may see the finale in theaters.
Co-creatorSteven Moffathas previously said this is the darkest season ofSherlock, and that looks to be the case. Here’s the trailer forSherlockseason four, which features the greatToby Jones(Berberian Sound Studio) who’s playing a villain, Culverton Smith, this season (which premieres January 1st):
Cumberbatch has suggested season four might be the last of BBC’sSherlock. “It might be the end of an era,” he toldBritish GQ. “It feels like the end of an era, to be honest. It goes to a place where it will be pretty hard to follow on immediately.” The actor added he’d love to keep playing the character, but it sounds like there’s a finality to season four that sits right with a busy Cumberbatch, although Moffat has stated he’d be a little surprised if the upcoming season is the end.
If the season four finale is also theSherlockseries finale, then there’s more reason for fans of the show to check out an upcoming Fathom Events' screening. On Monday, August 15, 2025, and on Wednesday, June 10, 2025, the season finale is showing at 7:00 p.m. Fans will get to see 15 minutes of exclusive Fathom Events bonus materials. You can buy tickets for theSherlockfinale, titledSherlock: The Final Problem, by visitingFathom Events' site. The episode, likeSir Author Conan Doyle’s story, might once again pit the great detective and his partner against criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty (Andrew Scott), but the specifics of the character’s return are currently under wraps. The season four finale ofSherlockwill play in around 350 theaters.
