"Sherlock Season 4" star Benedict Cumberbatch may see his character say goodbye to Mycroft Holmes (Mark Gatiss) after Episode 3, popularly nicknamed the "Sherrinford" episode. Mark Gatiss, who is both co-creator and co-writer for the BBC series, may reportedly be playing Mycroft Holmes as a series regular for the last time.
The question, however, is if Myrcoft Holmes will be leaving along with the rest of the series cast in case non-renewal for Season 5. Or if Sherlock Holmes will lose his older brother to a fatal circumstance.
Certainly, Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes, intricate though each may be, have been growing into a semblance of relative normalcy as brothers and individuals in the BBC series. Fans are coming to understand the strange dynamics between these Holmes brothers.

The Daily Mail cites "Sherlock Season 4" as a possible final foray by Mycroft Holmes before the series retires. Parent Herald, on the other hand, cites theories that Mycroft Holmes - as is true with fellow core characters John Watson (Martin Freeman) and Mary (Amanda Abbington) - may be in mortal danger when S4 villains put their plan into action.
Den Of Geek cites warning by Amanda Abbington that "Sherlock Season 4" will both shock and amaze. Mainly this is because Amanda Abbington reveals, Season 4 is the darkest run that co-producers and co-writers Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat have given the BBC series. So much so that when the "Sherlock" cast first read the script, the plot overwhelmed them with its darkness.
The Radio Times reports that the BBC will likely premiere "Sherlock Season 4" at 9 P.M. on Jan 1, 2017. Are you ready to see how the main "Sherlock" arc will be resolved in Season 4? What is your biggest anticipation for Sherlock Holmes and friends come Season 4? Do you think Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott) and Sherrinford are connected?
