‘Sherlock’ Victorian special gets title and release date
Just like a typical Sherlock Holmes mystery, the Victorian-set Sherlock special has been shrouded in, well, mystery. That is until now. The 90-minute special gets a new trailer (as seen above) and is called Sherlock: The Abominable Bride. It’ll be coming to the US via PBS and BBC One in the UK on January 1, 2016. There will also be a theatrical release of the film in select venues around the world.
The one-off special is set in 1890s London and it has been co-written by the series creators Steven Moffatt and Mark Gatiss; who are also now working on the fourth series of Sherlock. BBC One tweeted that the new series will start shooting next spring and it takes the duo into “deeper and darker water than ever before,” according to Gatiss.
