Fans have been chomping at the bit to find out when Sherlock would return to their screens and at least in the US we have an answer to our queries about when we could see our beloved Johnlock again.

Based on info from Entertainment Weekly, the show's third series will begin airing on PBS Masterpiece on January 19 at 10:00 PM, airing back-to-back with other popular British import Downton Abbey. AKA, More Civilized Game of Thrones.

While the BBC has yet to announce a UK air date, it's safe to assume it will be before Jan. 19, so possibly in time to make all your holiday wishes come true.

Said Masterpiece executive producer Rebecca Eaton of the show's upcoming episodes, "They’re fantastic. 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."

"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 executive producer Sue Vertue.

So how excited is everyone?

We're this excited:
