Inspired by the classic Holmes story The Dying Detective, the new episode is titled “The Lying Detective,” and co-stars Toby Jones as the villain Culverton Smith. If it follows the same idea as the short story, Sherlock will fake a terminal illness as part of a scheme to prove that Smith is a murderer.

“The Lying Detective” airs on Jan. 8. Expect some tense scenes between John and Sherlock, whose friendship was torn apart by tragedy in the season premiere.
