New “Sherlock” Trailer for “The Abominable Bride”

Sherlock The Abominable BrideBenedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman return as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson for yet another sleuthing adventure entitled “Sherlock: The Abominable Bride.”  Only this time the clock gets set back over 100 years and we find are heroes in the year 1895.  No, this is not “Doctor Who” so there is no time travel involved.  Instead, Steven Moffat brings us a one-off special that is not part of the show’s current continuity.  It’s more of a ‘what if the show took place back in Victorian Times’ scenario.

Per the BBC website, here’s the full synopsis:

Sherlock The Abominable Bride Pic“We’ve been here before – but what if this wasn’t the modern day but the late Victorian period? 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!

Some things, though, remain reassuringly the same. Friendship, adventure and especially, MURDER…

Why is Thomas Ricoletti a little surprised to see his wife dressed in her old wedding gown? Because, just a few hours before, she took her own life…

Mrs Ricoletti’s ghost now appears to be prowling the streets with an unslakeable thirst for revenge. From fog-shrouded Limehouse to the bowels of a ruined church, Holmes, Watson and their friends must use all their cunning to combat an enemy seemingly from beyond the grave and the final, shocking truth about… the Abominable Bride!”

The 90 minute special will air on Friday, January 1, 2016 on both PBS and BBC One.  Or if you want to wait a few days, you can catch it in a special theatrical screening on Tuesday and Wednesday, January 5 and January 6 at 7:30 PM at select theaters.  Click HERE to check ticket availability.

Here’s the new trailer along with a behind the scenes look.  For more information and videos, check out the BBC Website.
