BBC One has officially unveiled the first photo from season three of Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Written and created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, Sherlock is produced by Sue Vertue with Gatiss, Moffat, Beryl Vertue, Bethan Jones, and Rebecca Eaton executive producing.

“It’s been a long time since Sherlock Holmes jumped off that roof – it’s time to reveal the truth about what happened between him and the pavement,” offered Moffat on what fans can expect from this next season.

“Sherlock and John Watson are back at last! And they’re just where we want them – on the streets of London having mad, thrilling adventures,” added Gatiss.

The Plot: The question on everyone’s lips will finally be answered when Sherlock returns with three brand-new action-packed adventures. How did he do it? And how will John take the news that his best friend faked his own death? What will Sherlock think when he finds out John has fallen in love with Mary Morstan? She’s sensible, quick-witted, and not at all taken in by Sherlock’s posturing. Once again, the game is on for Sherlock and John in the first episode of the new series, “The Empty Hearse” written by Mark Gatiss.
