It's been less than two years since the last season of Sherlock, but as usual, it feels like decades have passed. Thankfully, the BBC's masterful miniseries will return for one episode this January — and voracious fans will be able to watch it on the big screen in the U.K. and U.S.

As an added incentive, the theatrical cut will be extended to include 20 minutes of additional footage. This may or may not include scenes cut from the episode's TV version, but will definitely feature behind-the-scenes exclusives with Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, and a set tour with executive producer Steven Moffat.

Sherlock: The Abominable Bride premieres in the U.S. and U.K. on Jan. 1, and will run at theaters on Jan. 5 and 6. Tickets will be available Nov. 6 for shows at over 500 theaters nationwide. You can even sign up for an email reminder for ticket sales in case you're worried the event will sell out.

News of Sherlock's theatrical residency come as the lines between television and film continue to blur; The Abominable Bride will come to theaters just under a year after Game of Thrones released "The Watchers on the Wall" and "The Children" in IMAX. But Sherlock is particularly ripe for the big screen: the show's 80- to 90-minute episode run times, darkly whimsical music by David Arnold and Michael Price, and exponentially bankable stars have always made it more of an event than an average TV series.

You don't have to be a detective to figure that out.
