Dressed in Victoria-era clothing, a snapshot preview of the new season was unveiled by the BBC on Thursday, as preliminary promotion for it begins. Dressed in classic three-piece suits, the critically acclaimed actors cut dapper figures in the image, which sees them share a green leather arm chair.
Looking deep in thought, Benedict, 38, can be seen in a pinstriped trouser with a crisp white shirt as he stares into the camera. Meanwhile, Martin, 43 - who perches to his right - sports a houndstooth suit and handlebar moustache, complete with pocket watch.
The photograph - the first official image of the forthcoming series - was later followed by a second teaser snapshot, depicting the pair in action. The press shot pretty much confirms what has long been predicted: that the present-day adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's franchise will step back in time for the special episode, which is expected to air around Christmas time.
A fourth series comprising of three episodes is expected to follow suit in 2016. The upcoming series of the popular show, which was created by Moffat and Mark Gatiss, is set to be 'the most shocking and surprising series of Sherlock yet' according to the BBC.
