Sherlock's back!

The cast and crew of "Sherlock" season 4 have been keeping fans guessing with photos tweeted from the set. Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) has returned to a new case. But are those new curtains in his flat at 221B Baker Street as well?

"Sherlock" wouldn't be the same without his smitten forensic pathologist, Molly Hooper, played by Louise Brealey, who tweeted this photo.

Prop or new nemesis?

Vintage dolls are always kind of creepy. But this photo tweeted by "Sherlock" actress Louise Brealey makes them even more shiver-worthy.

Welcome Holmes!

No need to wait for Mrs. Hudson to let you inside Sherlock's flat. His door already appears to be open.

Give Sherlock a hand

Some props from the "Sherlock" set are more cryptic than others. Here's hoping an automaton villain is in the works.
