They’re back! Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman return as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson in Victorian-era teaser photo of new series – and we couldn’t be more excited!
The hit BBC show is such a success, it was only a matter of time until production on a new series starts, it is as one would call it, elementary.
