Benedict Cumberbatch returns as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman reprises his role as John Watson in The Sherlock Special coming soon-ish to BBC and PBS. The special finds Sherlock and Watson back in Victorian London where they take on a “seemingly impossible case.” Other than that very basic info, not much is known about this special which is supposedly also set to get a limited theatrical release.

Series writer/creator Steven Moffat first revealed the special was in the works back in July 2014, also announcing at that time the three episode fourth season. The Sherlock Special was shot earlier this year and will also include Una Stubbs back as Mrs. Hudson.
