The game is (back) on — and so is Sherlock! In a special encore presentation, Masterpiece mystery! presents season one of Sherlock — three criminally clever whodunits that blow away the fog of the Victorian era as the world's most famous detective enters the 21st century. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch (The Last Enemy, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) as Sherlock and Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, The Office, UK) as Dr. John Watson, Sherlock re-airs on Masterpiece mystery! on Sundays, January 15, 22, and 29, 2012 at 10pm ET on PBS (check local listings).

Co-created and written by Mark Gatiss and Stephen Moffat, the writers of Doctor Who, Sherlock was honored by the 2011 Banff World Media Festival and the Television Critics Association; won a Peabody Award; and was nominated for four Primetime Emmy Awards.

In Spring, 2012, the dynamic, if dysfunctional, duo of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson continues to battle the worst that 21st century London has to offer, including a computer-savvy arch-villain who wants to rule the world and a hound from the hinges of Hell. Masterpiece mystery! premieres Sherlock, season 2, airing in three episodes: A Scandal in Belgravia (May 6, 2012) The Hounds of Baskerville (May 13, 2012) and The Reichenbach Fall (May 20, 2012) at 9pm on PBS (check local listings).
