The biggest mystery of this year has been solved using a hearse. The season three of the hugely popular BBC's "Sherlock" is scheduled to premiere on January 01, 2014. In one of the first announcements of its kind, an empty hearse, travelling around central London, was used to announce the premiere date of "Sherlock" season 3.

As reported earlier, the first episode of "Sherlock" Season 3 is "The Empty Hearse." Here is the list of the ten new developments that millions upon millions of "Sherlock" fans can expect when the modern day's most favourite fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, returns on television.

1. The rise of Sherlock from his non-existent grave

2. "The Empty Hearse" will reveal how Sherlock cheat death, and according to Mark Gatiss, "all the clues" to resolve this intensely speculated mystery were on the "screen."

3. The new, dangerous villain in the form of Charles Augustus Magnussen

4. A reunion between Sherlock and his buddy Dr Watson that does not go as planned

5. The threat of a terrorist attack puts London on high-alert

6. Dr Watson with a thick moustache

7. Dr Watson gets a love story and gets married

8. Sherlock as the best man and Dr Watson's wife likely to become a third wheel

9. "Sherlock" 3 follows the motif: 'Rat', 'Wedding', 'Bow'.

10. The best, jaw-dropping season of "Sherlock," according to Rebecca Eaton, executive producer of Masterpiece.

Sherlock, obviously, is likely to remain quirky and dramatic, as they add to his charm. It has been a two years wait for the fans of "Sherlock" and we expect the new season to award the patient wait, with 'awesomeness'.

The Official Synopsis of BBC's "Sherlock" Season 3 Episode 1 "The Empty Hearse": "Two years after the devastating effects of [Series 2's finale] The Reichenbach Fall, Dr John Watson has got on with his life. New horizons, romance and a comforting domestic future beckon. But, with London under threat of a huge terrorist attack, Sherlock Holmes is about to rise from the grave with all the theatricality that comes so naturally to him. It's what his best friend wanted more than anything, but for John Watson it might well be a case of 'be careful what you wish for'! If Sherlock thinks everything will be just as he left it though, he's in for a very big surprise..."
