"Sherlock Season 4" from the BBC with creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss (Mycroft Holmes) will see Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) saved by Irene Adler (Lara Pulver) if theories ring true. Sherlock Holmes will certainly see masterful challenges from villain Culverton Smith (Toby Jones) and Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott) making Season 4 ripe for an Irene Adler appearance.
Holmes and Irene Adler first met in "Sherlock Season 2" Episode 1, "A Scandal In Belgravia." Thing were more complicated than seemed and fans of the BBC series after that only glimpsed Irene Adler in "Sherlock Season 3" Episode 2 "The Sign Of Three."

Parent Herald cites Radio Times in quoting author Anthony Horowitz of the continuation "Sherlock Holmes" novels as commissioned by the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. As Anthony Horowitz pointed out, Irene Adler is the only romance that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created for Sherlock Holmes.
None of the canon Sherlock Holmes stories, even the continuation novels by Anthony Horowitz, will ever create a romance other than Irene Adler. Interestingly, for all the semblance to normalcy that Benedict Cumberbatch had been developing for Sherlock Holmes, Mark Gatiss pointed out that he will always be alone.
Granted Sherlock Holmes has known great friendship with Dr John Watson (Martin Freeman), even affection for Mary Watson (Amanda Abbington) and Mrs. Hudson (Unna Stubbs) and an awkward connection with Mycroft. Nonetheless, as Parent Herald cites, Sherlock Holmes will always be a solitary figure.
That is not to say that his great love Irene Adler could not make an appearance to lend Holmes a hand in "Sherlock Season 4." Irene Adler is most likely to rejoin at "Sherlock Season 4" Episode 3, the Jim Moriarty and Sherrinford episode.
While IMDb reveals the full cast for "Sherlock Season 4" Episode 1 "The Six Thatchers" and Episode 2 "The Lying Detective," Episode 3 casting is more secretive. "Sherlock Season 4" Episode 3 reunion with Jim Moriarty more than leaves room for Irene Adler.
The BBC announced the premiere of "Sherlock Season 4" for Jan 1, 2017. Are you rooting for an Irene Adler, Sherlock Holmes reunion in "Sherlock Season 4?"
