There is more to Benedict Cumberbatch than his romantic involvement with director Sophie Hunter and their recent engagement news that's all over the Internet. Updates on the television series "Sherlock" and his upcoming Shakespearean historical drama, "The Hollow Crown".
The engagement rumors between British actor Benedict Cumberbatch and director Sophie Hunter surfaced last month as the two were seen visiting the latter's hometown for speculated family get-together. Rumors were in fact true as early this month, a very discreet and traditional announcement was posted in the Times on Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter's rumored engagement.
The post said under "Forthcoming Marriages": "Mr. B.T. Cumberbatch and Miss S.I. Hunter: The engagement is announced between Benedict, son of Wanda and Timothy Cumberbatch of London, and Sophie, daughter of Katharine Hunter of Edinburgh and Charles Hunter of London."

While a release date for "Sherlock" season 4 remains to be unannounced, may be the DVD and Blu-ray set will satiate fans' thirst for "Sherlock", in the mean time.
