BBC series "Sherlock Season 4" star Benedict Cumberbatch (Holmes) was recently asked to dish on Sherrinford and Tom Hiddleston. Co-producers Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss (Mycroft Holmes) are expected to bring out a big reveal on Sherrinford come "Sherlock Season 4."
"Sherlock" fans have been waiting for a surprise revelation that Tom Hiddleston will join Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherrinford in Season 4. Most fans of the BBC series expect Sherrinford to be linked to "Sherlock Season 4" Episode 3 and perhaps this is where Tom Hiddleston will be appearing.

Radio Times cites Benedict Cumberbatch on the real score of Tom Hiddleston being in "Sherlock Season 4" as Sherrinford. Initially, the media outlet asked Benedict Cumberbatch if the "Sherlock" star enjoyed working with Tom Hiddleston.

Benedict Cumberbatch then asked if Radio Times was referring to Doctor Strange crossing over into "Thor: Ragnarok" where Tom Hiddleston plays Loki. Benedict Cumberbatch confirmed that the "Sherlock" star did indeed enjoy working with Tom Hiddleston - but in "Thor: Ragnarok" as Loki rather than in the BBC series as Sherrinford.
When asked point blank if Tom Hiddleston is really joining "Sherlock Season 4" as Sherrinford, Benedict Cumberbatch confirmed that this is mere speculation. Interestingly, Benedict Cumberbatch was very reluctant to add further to the clues that have been given previously on "Sherlock Season 4."
These "Sherlock Season 4" clues were revealed at the 2016 San Diego Comic Con (SDDC). Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss and co-producer Sue Vertue announced that Holmes will encounter "Thatcher," "Smith" and "Sherrinford" in "Sherlock Season 4" as Parent Herald cites.
With or without Tom Hiddleston, Sherrinford may link Sherlock Holmes back to his nemesis Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott). Although Jim Moriarty had been confirmed dead in "Sherlock Season 3," Holmes may somehow find himself hounded by his old enemy from the grave.
"Sherlock Season 4" airs on the BBC on Jan 1 2017. Did you subscribe to Sherrinford being the third Holmes brother who may be played by Tom Hiddleston in "Sherlock Season 4" or do you have a different theory on this third clue?
