The wait is over. The season 3 premiere of the highly-successful BBC series has announced its return: January 19, and fans can't seem to contain their excitement for TV's favorite crime-solver to return.

The modern day remake of the mystery-thriller starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock, and Martin Freeman as Dr. John Watson captured the inquisitive nature of fans all over the world. After two successful seasons, the show had a hiatus lasting for two years. The break ends now as producers of the show can't feel but excited for the series' "best season yet."

"They are jaw dropping. They are like small movies. Benedict and Martin are so in their Sherlock-Watson groove. They are so comfortable with that relationship it's like being in the room with them," says producer Rebecca Eaton in a post by Entertainment Weekly.

Reports suggest that the third season's filming went to a halt mainly because of the high demand for the show's lead actors. Benedict Cumberbatch appeared in blockbusters such as Star Trek, and just recently, 'The Fifth Estate' (WikiLeaks creator, Julian Assange's biopic). Freeman filmed Peter Jackson's The Hobbit. Aside from the two lead actors, creators of the series also went to work on "all the movies they wanted to make" during the creation of this third season.

"We are hugely excited about this next series of Sherlock, and have worked closely with our partners, Masterpiece and PBS, to bring these episodes to U.S. audiences in January. We promise our fans that Season 3 is worth waiting for," added Sherlock producer Sue Vertue in the same EW report.
