Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman: 'Sherlock’ Season 3 Stories Revealed; Fall 2013 Premiere (SCREEN RANT)

As usual, Moffat is tight-lipped about what fans can expect and, instead, offered hints in the form of three simple words: “Rat. Wedding. Bow.” The words line up perfectly with another set of well-known stories from Arthur Conan Doyle’s collected Sherlock adventures – but the matching of “Bow” could prove to be a bittersweet revelation for fans of the series.


Viewers should easily recognize the connections between the words and last year’s “based on” stories:

Woman = A Scandal in Bohemia
Hound = The Hounds of Baskerville
Fall = The Final Problem

Today, Moffat followed-up the tease with his promised “Three Words” reveal tweet:

So. The three tease words for the next run of Sherlock … Rat. Wedding. Bow.

Following the same logic, which not only reveals which stories Moffat intends to reinterpret, we can also expect the episodes to air in the following order:

Rat = The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire (or possibly Moffat intends to expand on the oft-referenced case of The Giant Rat Of Sumatra)
Wedding = The Noble Bachelor
Bow = His Last Bow

Both “The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire,” which contains a reference to ”The Giant Rat Of Sumatra” (“A story for which the world is not yet prepared.”) and “The Noble Bachelor” (centered around the disappearance of a bride on her wedding night) should provide plenty of engaging story material for the show’s writers and viewers. However, as mentioned, the final story connection “His Last Bow,” has a lot of fans wondering if season three of Sherlock could also the last.
