New ‘Sherlock’ trailer released for special airing eventually

Share via

“Sherlock” is back, and there’s a brand-new trailer to prove it.

The one-off special of the BBC/Masterpiece co-production is set in the Victorian England era of Arthur Conan Doyle’s books, a departure from the modern reinterpretation that the series typically opts for. Though no air date has been announced yet, it will air at some point before “Sherlock” returns for its fourth season in 2017.

The trailer itself is chock full of goodies for fans of the series, both television and book, featuring a heavily mustachioed John Watson (Martin Freeman), a deerstalker hat-outfitted Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and the foggy, mysterious London of a bygone era.

Though the series released a clip at San Diego Comic Con, this is the first trailer for it. British media theorize that the special will air around Christmas, but at the Television Critics Assn. summer press tour in August, writer-producer Steven Moffat wasn’t telling, saying only that the plan was to “put it on television and you’ll be able to watch it.”

Until then, enjoy this trailer for the upcoming “Sherlock” special. Debuting eventually.
