Sherlock Fans Will Get To Watch The Season Finale In Cinemas

With brand new Sherlock just weeks away, fans of the show and Cumberb*tches across the world are positively giddy with excitement.

Now, producers have announced that the final episode ‘The Final Problem’ will be screened in cinemas across the country, following the success of the screening of 'The Abominable Bride’ in cinemas last January.

The one-night screening will take place on its broadcast date – January 15th.

Fans will be able to catch Holmes and Watson on the big screen in over 300 locations.

Sherlock producer Sue Vertue said: “Fans clearly enjoyed the opportunity of watching The Abominable Bride in cinemas last time so Hartswood Films are thrilled to be working with BBC Worldwide again to do the same for this series four finale.”

A spokesman for the BBC said: “The incredible filmic qualities of Sherlock make it perfect cinema viewing.

"We are delighted to be able to offer the UK and Irish fans the opportunity to enjoy the epic Sherlock finale on the big screen.”

The first episode of the fourth series airs on New Years Day at 8:30 – perfect timing for when we’ll all inevitably be a little hungover and vulnerable, and in need of some proper good telly.

However, if you’re thinking the fifth series will be just around the corner- then sorry, you’re out of luck. Speaking to the Press Association, Benedict - AKA Sherlock himself – said that there’ll be a break – and once fans watch the fourth season in full, they’ll realise why.

“I think there will be a lull. I don’t think it will be in a year-and-a-half necessarily, but we will wait and see and maybe it will be. "First and foremost, we have got a fourth series for people to watch and understand and when they watch it they might go 'Oh yeah, maybe there does need to be a break now’ because of what happens in it. No spoilers!”

Damn you, Cumberbatch – stop teasing us!
