The BBC hit Sherlock is normally a modern day take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's eponymous detecitve and his associate Dr. Watson, but this year they're doing something special by taking the same cast and show and setting in the Victorian era, in which the character originates.
With this and Alex Kingston returning to Doctor Who, The BBC and Steven Moffat are owning Christmas.
Evecutive producer Sue Vertue reveals: "We are hugely excited about this next series of Sherlock, and have worked closely with our partners, Masterpiece and PBS, to bring these episodes to U.S. audiences in January.

Sherlock will air in the States on PBS on January 19th at 10 p.m. The UK premiere date has not been announced, but will be sometime before the US air date.
