Unlike the rest of the episodes, which are set in the 21st century, this one will be adhering to the Arthur Conan Doyle’s setting of the 19th century. With horse carriages, oil lanterns and the goth feel, the Sherlock team went full Victorian in this one.
BBC One also released the trailer of The Abominable Bride.

The regular BBC series had ended off at a major cliffhanger with their Season 3 finale. While that mystery has some time before it gets solved when the next season releases in 2017, this special episode will hopefully curb Sherlockians’ cravings to an extent.
