Exclusive First Look! Benedict Cumberbatch (as seen above) is captured behind the set of the third series of Sherlock on a Sunday night. Mark Gatiss, co-writer of Sherlock states that “Sherlock goes into a lot of depression after the famous Fall because he has been so alone without John and Mrs Hudson, so he decides to shave off all his hair, and thus, becoming a Bald Sherlock Holmes, it’s quite a good look on him.” Steven Moffat added, “Yes, we went for this look because it really shows what Sherlock has gone through over the years…”. We interviewed Benedict Cumberbatch and all he could tell us was “My bald head reflects back the sunlight, it’s fabulous.” We weren’t able to ask any other questions about the new episodes, but both writers stated “It’ll be a totally different Sherlock Holmes.” Sherlock returns in March 2016. Mark those calendars Sherlockians. (source)
