Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and John Watson (Martin Freeman) take a trip to the Victorian era in this first official trailer for the highly-anticipated upcoming Sherlock special!

“We discovered there was some precedent for doing Sherlock in the Victorian era,” executive producer Steven Moffat recently told EW. “When we first did Sherlock, press asked, ‘How can Sherlock possibly survive in world with an iPhone?’ and when doing the Victorian, the press came in and said, ‘How can he do this without his iPhone?’”

He added, “It’s very much the show you know. It’s the Sherlock as you know it, but in the correct era. It’s one of the best ones we’ve made. I think it’s really terrific.”

Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman get into costume to film their hit BBC series Sherlock over the weekend in Bristol, England.

The 38-year-old Oscar nominee recently penned an an open letter petitioning the U.K. government to give a pardon to some 49,000 homosexuals who were treated prosecuted for being gay by the British government several decades ago.

In 2009, the British government gave Alan Turing an “unequivocal apology” for his mistreatment (Benedict portrays Alan in The Imitation Game). Unfortunately, according to The Telegraph, Prince William and Kate Middleton have rejected Benedict‘s plea for his gay rights campaign in the UK and a spokesperson said since it is a matter for the government that they could not comment.

“Series Four! At last! It’s always special to return to ‘Sherlock‘ but this time it’s even more special as we’re doing… a Special! Not only THAT, we’ll then be shooting three more episodes which will take Sherlock and John Watson into deeper and darker water than ever before.
