New Trailer for Sherlock Special Episode

PBS has released the first trailer for a special episode of Sherlock (below). The date of release: Soon … ish. That's right, we don't know when it will air in the US or the UK. It was originally called a Christmas Special, suggesting maybe this December in the UK, soon thereafter in the US, but at Comic Con this week, executive producer Steven Moffat said it would air within "the next year, we hope". He also said it would be shown in select theaters around the world.

The episode is apparently set sometime around the turn of the 20th century in Victorian London. No details on the plot have been released.

And since we're on the subject, Moffat also confirmed he hasn't even started writing episodes for the fourth season. Not a promising sign for fans of series, who last saw their favorite characters in early 2014.
