The wait is nearly over as fans of BBC's hit TV series, Sherlock, will soon be treated to its season 3 finale, which will feature Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) facing off against the villainous Charles Augustus Magnussen (Lars Mikkelsen), who'll make his first appearance.

Stephen Moffat Dishes On Irene Adler

Executive producer Sue Vertue recently spoke to TV Guide on Jan. 30, and emphasized just how tough of a foe the manipulative antagonist will be for the detective. She even stated that he'll be bringing things out of Sherlock that the audience has yet to ever see.

"Charles Augustus Magnussen is the one villain that Sherlock Holmes truly hates. He never hated Moriarty actually. They sort of admired each other. They have the same kind of brains. Whereas Magnusson is just calculated. He really hates Moriarty," she said.

Molly Hooper's New Journey Discussed

Vertue also added that Mikkelsen's character "preys on the weak. He's a blackmailer. He's just not nice."

In other Sherlock happenings, co-creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat recently dished to Radio Times on Jan. 8 about how they've mapped out season 4 and 5 of the popular show.

Sherlock will be airing its season 3 finale on Sunday, Feb. 2 in the U.K. Be sure to keep checking back with Enstars for more of the latest information on the program.
