The writer also said that while the fourth season will see some fun, enjoyable scenes, there will be times that things will take a dark, terrifying turn, ruining what little delightful moments Sherlock, John, and Mary will have at the beginning.

Moffat also revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that in Sherlock season 4, there will be answers to questions that viewers did not know about and it will take an unexpected turn.

Moffat also teased that the end of season four will make fans "desperate" for the season 5 and predicted an "emotional upheaval". Fans might have to wait another year and a half for the fifth one so they might want to sit the finale out or prepare boxes upon boxes of tissues.
