BBC Sherlock - Season 3 "The Empty Hearse" premeries in the UK on Jan 01 2014

Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as Sherlock Holmes and John Watson in BBC Sherlock Season 3

The UK air date for “The Empty Hearse”, the first episode of Season 3 of  BBC Sherlock has been set for Jan 01 2014.

The second episode, “The Sign of Three” and the the third episode “His Last Vow” will be broadcast on Jan 05 and Jan 12 respectively. 

Benedict Cumberbatch is one of my favorite actors to play Sherlock Holmes and BBC Sherlock one of my favorite adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary creation.

I am happy that the British get to savor this excellent show with the advent of the new year 2014.

The acclaimed show returns to the US on Jan 19 2014.

  1. :( Well, at least it's not THAT long a wait between airdates. Still got to avoid the net for a while (unless the UK avoids posting spoilers). But hooray! The wait is nearly over!

    1. Agree with you, Loveable Freak on both counts.

      The delay between the UK and US air dates is much lesser than the previous season and we DO need to be careful about avoiding the spoilers.

  2. Glad to hear the gap between us and the UK is not terribly large, and I am sure some of my UK friends will be glad to hear it. At least have finally gotten a confirmed air date, we have been waiting a long time. But I wonder why they couldn't made a deal to air it on the same day like Doctor Who. I am the rating will take a hit since some people will find pirated copies online.

    Do you know where we Sherlock will air in America? It was on PBS in the past, but I have not heard if that has been changed yet.
