#Sherlock season 2 release date series#

Written by series co-creator Mark Gatiss (who also plays Holmes' brother Mycroft in the show), a horror fanatic and the writer of the fantastic season 1 finale, this promises to be the best of the lot. As it stands British actor Russell Tovey has been cast as Sir Henry. In the original novel Holmes and Watson are sent to Devon to protect Sir Henry Baskerville from a beast who prowls the countryside. Hounds of the Baskerville is of course the most famous Holmes story of all. As the title implies, Holmes and Watson may encounter more than one beast on the moors. A politician perhaps? The second episode, although based on The Hound of the Baskervilles, will come with a slight twist and be named The Hounds of Baskerville. The fact that Belgravia is in the title may suggest that the story will centre around a figure of importance in the Westminster area of London rather than the King of Bohemia.

Are we to take from this that Adler is working for Moriarty? If so itВЂВ™s quiet a deviation from the books, although the recent Guy Ritchie movie introduced the idea of Adler working as a spy for the villain.

It is interesting to note that in the season 1 finale ВЂВThe Great GameВЂВ™ while on the trail of Moriarty, Holmes found a note that he deduced was from written on thick paper only found in Bohemia and that the handwriting was distinctly that of a woman. Although they have been filming season 2 of Sherlock for the past few months now, there has been no official announcement of who will be stepping into the characters shoes.

If the writers for Sherlock decide to play up the romantic element of Adler and Holmes it will be interesting to see how Holmes reacts, considering how miserable and antisocial he can be. The recent Guy Ritchie/ Robert Downey movie Sherlock Holmes cast Rachel McAdams as Adler and used her as an ex-lover of Holmes. In later film and television adaptations of the story the character of Adler was used as a romantic interest. Adler proves to be a clever match for Holmes and manages to always remain one step ahead of him at all times. In the original story Holmes is hired by the King of Bohemia to retrieve a compromising photo of the monarch and his previous mistress- Irene Adler. This was the story that introduced our detective to the wily Irene Adler - the only woman to outsmart Sherlock. The first episode of season 2, A Scandal in Belgravia, is based upon the novel A Scandal in Bohemia. It has already been confirmed earlier in the year that we will once again be getting a season comprised of three 90 minute episodes, all of which will be based on Sir Arthur Conan DoyleВЂВ™s three most famous Holmes stories. Spoiler Warning for those who have not seen season 1 of Sherlock With the encore screenings of season 1 of Sherlock finishing their run on BBC 1 this Wednesday night with the season finale ВЂВThe Great GameВЂВ™, I thought it would be an appropriate time to do a quick run through of what we can expect from the forthcoming second season.
