BBC One’s aggressively popular Sherlock series has captivated critics in part for its modern spin on the classic detective, though much praise for the show is also directed at performances from Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular sleuth and Martin Freeman as his partner Watson.
The show takes the unique format of a mere three episodes per season, with each episode acting as a relatively self-contained 90-minute adventure. All of the episodes have boasted a stylish, pulpy aesthetic reminiscent of the literary trappings of the character, only with a fresh coat of paint that gives it the feel of a modern crime drama.
As the show prepares to enter its third season, popularity for Sherlock is at an all-time high, and fan anticipation is through the roof. As fans continue to speculate on how things will pick back up after last season’s massive cliffhanger, BBC One has dropped a new trailer, giving us just a bit more to go on.
In addition to that trailer, we also have an interactive preview to share that provides access to exclusive content and will allow Sherlock fans to explore short clips and stills. It’s not a ton, but it should be enough to whet your appetite until the premiere of the new season on New Year’s Day.
Check it all out below and then head to the comments and let us know if you’re excited for the upcoming season.
