"Elementary" Season 4 is far from showing as it is scheduled to air this November but major spoilers have already been revealed such as Sherlock Holmes' father to be returning. In line with this, it has been announced via a statement that the father of Holmes will be played by actor John Noble of "Fringe."
Hit CBS series "Elementary" ended the third season earlier this year and things were not looking great for Sherlock Holmes. Just a recap, Holmes, played by Johnny Lee Miller, has been miserable towards the end of season 3 while Watson, played by Lucy Liu, has announced that the father of Holmes will be returning to visit the city in order to help Holmes and his drug addiction.
Due to this, many fans of the show questioned who will be the face behind Holmes Sr. and the much-awaited answer has recently been released. In a report by Latin Post, Robert Doherty, the creator and executive producer of "Elementary," said that Noble has been casted as the well-to-do and estranged father of Holmes. The 66-year-old Australian actor is reportedly a delight to join the series taking on an important role.
Doherty added, "We've enjoyed his work for many years now - especially his tremendous run on 'Fringe' - and cannot wait to see him opposite Jonny and Lucy." He continued to say that the addition of Noble will make the upcoming season all the more exciting.
Holmes Sr. has already been introduced and referred to in the past seasons and has been dubbed as a dangerously intelligent but flawed detective since he has been in the rehabilitation center. He is also the brains behind recruiting Liu's character, Joan Watson, to act as the sober companion for his son as he does his work, Gosper Herald reports.
It has been previously reported that the arrival of Holmes Sr. is due to the fact that Liu's Joan Watson will no longer be in the fourth season of the show although there have been no confirmations regarding this information yet.
"Elementary" season four will be hitting your T.V. screens this November 5 on CBS.
