Sherlock Actor Andrew Scott On Season 3 [SPOILERS]: If He's In Series Three, Is Moriarty Alive, Or Is He Sherlock's Body Double?

With BBC hit series "Sherlock" season three set to premiere later this year, Moriarty actor Andrew Scott has spoken up about the upcoming series, while also igniting theories and spoilers regarding his involvement.

"Filming for the new series has been top secret. We get all the scripts at once but we are banned from even telling our families or friends what is in them," says the 36-year-old actor.

"We are not allowed to speak to anyone. If I said what happens in the next series of Sherlock, what do you think would happen to me?!"

As fans are well aware of, "Sherlock" season two ended with the death of both Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes (played by breakout star Benedict Cumberbatch), only for viewers to learn that Sherlock somehow faked his death!

And while Scott is banned from spilling secrets, the very fact that he's been filming for season three is a big indicator of some potential spoilers regarding "Sherlock" and the faked death.

In the clip below caught in April of this year, fans can see both Mycroft (Mark Gatiss) and Moriarty appearing in a scene together. While this could be for a flashback scene in season three, fans have also noticed that Moriarty appears to be wearing Sherlock's coat.

With Moriarty and Sherlock sporting the same look, does this mean that Moriarty's body was used by Sherlock to fake his death?

Or, does this clip indicate that Moriarty is somehow, miraculously, also alive (after shooting himself in the mouth, mind you)?

Since the actors aren't spilling the beans on any spoilers, fans will have to wait until season three premieres to learn what to make of all this.

"I never guessed how the last episode would end, it even surprised me. It has been fantastic filming the new series," continues Scott.

"It has been a total joy for everybody and it has changed everybody's lives."
