We’re just over a month away from the premiere of the highly-anticipated Sherlock special titled The Abominable Bride, and today we’re learning exciting new details.
It’s been two years since Sherlock series 3 aired, and the wait for series 4 continues. Last we heard, the next series will be filming in early 2016 (finally).
Until then we have Sherlock: The Abominable Bride to look forward to. On Tuesday the BBC released five great new photos from the 90-minute special which’ll be airing in the United States and United Kingdom on January 1, 2016.
In addition, the network unveiled the synopsis for the special. It confirms that a ghost will be the special’s antagonist!
What if the world’s most famous consulting detective and his best friend lived in a Baker Street of steam trains, hansom cabs, top hats and frock-coats? Welcome to ‘Sherlock’ in 1895!
