It may take one more year before "Sherlock" season 4 premieres on the small screens, but recent reports are claiming that cast and crew are all set to film the upcoming run.
Like the previous seasons, filming of "Sherlock" season 4 will take place in a studio and on location in South Wales.
"The drama, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr Watson, is expected to be filmed at Pinewood Studio Wales on the outskirts of Cardiff at Wentloog," Wales Online noted. "The studio complex, which Pinewood rents from the Welsh Government, has 70,000 sq ft of shooting space, including two 20,000 sq st stages."
"The project is expected to receive financial assistance from the Welsh Government, which has a £30m media investment fund."
Production has yet to start, but reports confirmed that a Spring start of filming is already in place. Apart from filming, execs reportedly have a plot in mind for season 4.
Vine report claimed that the upcoming run will be "dark" and will see the consequences of some character's choices in the past. However, despite the more serious tone, the series will stay true to its humor.
"There's a sense of... things... coming back to bite you. It's not a safe, sensible way to live. It's hilarious and exhilarating some days, but some days it's going to be bloody frightening," co-creator Steven Moffat shared.
Meanwhile, other "Sherlock" season 4 spoilers teased that several events could unfold including the inclusion of the third Holmes bro who will allegedly be played by Tom Hiddleston, and possibly Mary Morstan's death.
Moffat has recently dished on their preps for season 4, and he hinted that the new episodes will be "devastating."
"We have a plan to top it," he said to Entertainment Weekly. "And I do think our plan is devastating. We've practically reduced our cast to tears telling them the plan ... we're probably more excited that we've ever been about Sherlock ."
