Sherlock Series 3 Premieres On PBS January 19th
Well this is unprecedented! The USA airing of Sherlock Series 3 has been released BEFORE the UK airing! Just revealed by Entertainment Weekly, Sherlock will grace the screens of PBS in the United States at 10PM on Sunday, January 19th, just after Downton Abbey. This follows the news from this morning that two promo photos from series 3 were released a few weeks ago and were confirmed today by Sherlockology.
The first episode is called “The Empty Hearse” and solves the mystery of Sherlock’s death. The second episode is titled “The Sign of Three” and features — spoiler alert if you haven’t been following the online chatter about the new season — Watson getting married to Mary Morstan (played his real-life partner, Mr. Selfridge actress Amanda Abbington). The third episode is “The Last Vow” and airs Feb. 2. And then the wait for new Sherlock will begin all over again. Season 4 is heavily presumed to be happening, but the BBC has not confirmed this and the company tends to wait until each season of Sherlock airs until announcing the next.
I daresay this will make the USA fans of the show incredibly excited as there will no longer be a massive gap inbetween series. So when will the UK air it? Hopefully we’ll find out soon! In the meantime, read up at Entertainment Weekly!
