Although "Sherlock" Christmas special is a treat this year, fans are still waiting for more season 4 details, most especially the highly anticipated release date announcement. There's also the question of Moriarty's return, which has been already teased by Benedict Cumberbatch himself.

To date, the release date of the "Sherlock" Christmas special remains on a relatively vague 2015 holiday season. It's not surprising that the geniuses behind the show have not revealed season 4 release date, and it will not likely be unleashed until next year. However, production of the next "Sherlock" chapter has already been revealed, making a small peek hole into when season 4 could arrive.

A report by DigitalSpy revealed that showrunner Steven Moffat shared season 4 news. While this does not involve release date details directly, filming schedule somehow makes it clear that "Sherlock" season 4 is pushing through, and will likely be released sometime in 2017.

"Sherlock" shall begin filming in spring of 2016 with season 4 described by Moffat as "going to be... I suppose you'd say... consequences. It's consequences. Chickens come to roost."

"It's dark in some ways - obviously it's great fun and a Sherlock Holmes romp and all that - but there's a sense of things coming back to bite you," added the showrunner.

Meanwhile, talk on Moriarty's return generates an equally enormous buzz among Sherlockians, nobody is talking---or so fans think. With the bulk of updates and news on "Sherlock" season 4 details, a small comment by Benedict Cumberbatch seems to have been overlooked and this involves the return of Moriarty come season 4 release date.

In a report by RadioTimes last year, Benedict Cumberbatch was asked about "Sherlock" season 4 details and whether the actor knows the major plot of the coming chapter. He said, "Yes. I think so. I casually choose to forget in order to rediscover it again a little bit."

When asked about Moriarty's return from the dead and into season 4, "Sherlock" star revealed, "It's a very good idea, I do remember that detail. I'm just trying not to remember it so I don't blurt it out."

"But I like casually forgetting, not least because there's a lot of other traffic between then and now but also because it's more fun because it's slightly more fresh," added Cumberbatch.
