Sherlock Season 4 is coming very soon, and as it is the titles of the first two episodes that BBC has kindly dished out are more than enough to keep the fire burning. The Inquisitr reported that episode 1 is entitled The Six Thatchers while episode 2 is called The Lying Detective. The former is directed by Rachel Talalay, written by Mark Gatiss, while the latter is written by Steven Moffat and directed by Nick Hurran.

Will the show be as dark as fans expect it to be? If Sherlock's worried looks could be taken as a hint, then viewers can expect amazing plot coming their way. Moffat said that in the first two episodes of the upcoming season, there will be an hour of plot and half an hour of drama. Episode 3 will even have more plot than the other two. Obviously, you can expect a LOT of plot.
