Juicy information has indeed emerged on the upcoming series of BBC's Sherlock, as actor Benedict Cumberbatch recently came clean that his protagonist character will find himself struggling to solve crimes after returning from his fake death.

The 37-year-old had spoken to the Mirror, saying that Sherlock won't exactly be himself when the popular TV series kicks off series 3 in 2014.

"I think he's regressed, which is a shame in a way as it would have been lovely to have evolved him into somebody who was perversely different for a little bit," he said.

When Sherlock returns, Cumberbatch's character will show himself after hiding out for several years, no longer having a handle on society.

"I think without Watson the stabilisers have come off the bike a little bit, or they've been put back on, I don't quite know. He's not in tune with London, he's not in tune with his natural habitat and he's nowhere near in tune with what it is to be a human being in society," Cumberbatch added.
