The Game is Afoot in SHERLOCK Season 4 Comic-Con Trailer

The Sherlock panel is currently under way at San Diego Comic-Con, and a brand new trailer for the upcoming fourth season was just released. We'll have a more detailed write-up of the ins and outs of the panel on the site soon, but in the meantime, sit back and bask in the glory of new Sherlock footage for the first time since the Christmas/New Year's special.

It looks like things are taking a much darker turn this season, and Benedict Cumberbatch's face — which is usually sort of blank or smarmy as this character — seems to be much more expressive as he witnesses some kind of horror (or at least has a shocking realization or two).

Sherlock returns sometime in 2017.

It's not a game anymore. #Sherlock season 4 coming soon...
