'Sherlock' Season 4 Cast, Air Date, News & Update: BBC Series No Future Where Benedict Cumberbatch As Holmes Will Have A Girlfriend?

"Sherlock Season 4" is expected to bring romance, but not for Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch), for whom Irene Adler (Lara Pulver) had been The One. While BBC series co-creators and producers Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss (Mycroft) will conclude a major arc in "Sherlock Season 4," the arc will not cover romance for Sherlock Holmes.

Radio Times cites author Anthony Horowitz, who pens recent "Sherlock Holmes" novels for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's estate. According to Anthony Horowitz, Sherlock Holmes has never had a girlfriend or any other romantic entanglement.

As a writer of continuation novels for "Sherlock Holmes," Anthony Horowitz gave high praise for the friendship between Sherlock and John Watson. Interestingly, Anthony Horowitz highlighted that when writing continuation novels for "Sherlock Holmes" he had to completely abide by the rules that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle established.

The example Anthony Horowitz chose to give was how Sir Arthur Conan Doyle never paired Sherlock Holmes with any girlfriend. For Sherlock Holmes, according to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Irene Adler was the only woman.

Because of this, Anthony Horowitz said he will never develop any continuation "Sherlock Holmes" novels where the legendary detective becomes interested in someone other than Irene Adler. If Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss similarly stay true to the wishes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the BBC "Sherlock" series will never give Holmes any other love than Irene Adler.

Fans of the BBC series met Irene Adler in "Sherlock Season 2" Episode 1 "A Scandal In Belgravia." However suited Irene Adler and Sherlock Holmes turned out to be for each other, their love was not meant to be.

Irene Adler was gone by "Sherlock Season 2" Episode 2 "The Hounds Of Baskerville." From then on Benedict Cumberbatch has never had to play Sherlock Holmes opposite any woman that interested him after Irene Adler.

"Sherlock Season 4" will premiere on the BBC come New Year 2017. Are you waiting for Lara Pulver and Benedict Cumberbatch to reunite Irene Adler and Holmes in "Sherlock Season 4?"
