A date has been set for the return of one of television’s most eagerly anticipated shows: Sherlock Season 3 will premiere on MASTERPIECE on Sunday, January 19, 2014 at 10pm, following the 9pm broadcast of Downton Abbey.
Benedict Cumberbatch (The Fifth Estate, Star Trek Into Darkness) and Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Office UK) return as Sherlock Holmes and John Watson in three new 90-minute episodes of the contemporary reinvention of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle classic, created by Steven Moffat (Doctor Who) and Mark Gatiss.
“The genius Sherlock team has done it again,” says MASTERPIECE executive producer Rebecca Eaton. “These new episodes are as wildly-imaginative and brilliantly-produced as all the others. These people are GOOD!
