Work has begun on season 3 of the highly acclaimed BBC series Sherlock.
Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman return as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, respectively, however until now we haven’t known what books the new series would be based on.
Executive producer Mark Gatiss has taken to Twitter to reveal the title of the first episode and, subsequently, plot details have also surfaced by way of the Arthur Conan Doyle source material for the story.
Gatiss posted the above picture with the tweet:
“Exclusive! Ep 1 will be called ‘The Empty Hearse’. The game is on! #Sherlock”
Metro adds that the first episode of season three will indeed be based on the original Doyle story The Adventure Of The Empty House, which explains the return of Sherlock following his apparent demise.
So there you have it. Has anyone read The Adventure of The Empty House? Is it a good story to adapt? As ever,let us know your thoughts.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
