If Irene Adler is to be believed, "Brainy is the new sexy," which is why BBC's Sherlock is going to San Diego Comic-Con for the first time ever.

According to EW.com , the cult hit series will be hosting a panel at the fan convention later this month, although an exact date and time won't be announced until tomorrow.

For now, we know that Steven Moffat (co-creator, executive producer and writer), Mark Gatiss (co-creator, executive producer and writer) and Sue Vertue (producer) will all be in attendance at the panel. Stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are reportedly sitting this one out, due to their respective big-screen commitments, but there will be "surprises" in store.Naturally, fans will have many questions for the panelists, not the least of which being how Sherlock survived his rooftop plummet at the end of last season. No doubt Moffat, Gatiss and Vertue will be offering some hints on what's to come in the highly anticipated third season.
