A handful of new Sherlock Season 2 promo photos let us know the game, is on. While story details provide additional insight into the much anticipated new season.
The new photos feature Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as Sherlock and Watson with their backs against the wall (in more ways than one?), and the first snaps of Lara Pulver as Irene Adler. Look:

Lara Pulver Teases Season 2 Sherlock Romance
As for what’s in store this season, GQ UK has published some Season 2 tidbits (thanks to Sherlockology for the transcription, visit link for more):
It’s the scariest Sherlock yet…
“There’s a big difference between the three episodes this year,” says co-creator Mark Gatiss, “and, of course, you can’t do Sherlock without admitting that people get killed. For me, The Hound Of The Baskervilles is one of the great horror stories that never quite delivers on its horror. So we [in a second episode ‘The Hounds Of Baskerville’, starring Russell Tovey] had a chance to go for it!”
…but also the closest to the original stories
“We’re taking elements of the books quite liberally this time,” says co-creator Steven Moffat. “It’s a magpie approach; another story may have a great idea that we’ll put in. But it’s quite overt; the short story ‘A Scandal In Bohemia’ becomes our ‘A Scandal In Belgravia’, the novel The Hound Of The Baskervilles becomes our ‘The Hounds Of Baskerville.’”
Sherlock gets a girlfriend!
Well, sort of. “It’s a non-love story,” says Moffat of “A Scandal In Belgravia”, where he meets Irene Adler (True Blood’s Lara Pulver). “But if one woman could claim him, it would be her. Not Sherlock in love, but Sherlock and love. In the stories, he’s not saying he doesn’t feel these things, but that he mustn’t feel them.”
Sherlock will use more tech
“One of the things we established last year is that Sherlock is always at the cutting edge,” says Gatiss. “Why wouldn’t he be? He’s not a fogey. He needs to be across everything. He’s the person hovering over his computer getting a Kremlin tan.”
