Either way, we’re very excited about it, and we don’t have that annoying lag time for when it airs in the United Kingdom first and then get loads of spoilers.
“The Abominable Bride” is set to air January 1 at 8 p.m. Connecticut on PBS stations as part of the “Masterpiece Mystery!” series, PBS announced in a news release.
The updated trailer shows the same footage from a previous trailer of Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman) hunting down clues to unlock the secrets of another mystery. The likes of Rupert Graves, Louise Brealey, Jonathan Aris, Amanda Abbington and Una Stubbs will all be around, but given Victorian twists.
The 90-minute episode will be taking the show back to how the author first envisaged it in the late 19th-century Victorian era, complete with Sherlock’s pipe and deer stalker hat. However, Screenrant pointed out that while it has been quite a while since fans last saw Cumberbatch and Freeman in “Sherlock”, this special will indeed be a treat.
There is also what is technically a new trailer for the Sherlock special.
The episode’s producers and actors have teased that the haunting episode will be a “variation on Sherlock that’s more in keeping with the original [Arthur Conan Doyle stories]”.
An encore of Abominable Bride is scheduled for January 10. Showrunner Steven Moffat has previously teased that it would be a ghost story, and that it would be a one-off episode.

As well as talking about the special- Writer Steven Moffat, also touched on series 4 of the contemporary drama. That’s unusual, because in the past, entire seasons of Sherlock Holmes premiered in the US months after showing in the UK.
