Episodes two and three will air Jan. 5 and Jan. 12, the network revealed in another tweet.
Those of us in the U.S. will have to wait until Jan. 19 to catch the season three premiere on PBS at 10 p.m., following Downton Abbey, according to PBS.
While you wait, revisit the Sherlock teaser released earlier this month:
