A wild Cumberbatch appeared on the streets of Glasgow.

On Sunday more than a few Glaswegians spotted Benedict Cumberbatch filming for the new TV show Melrose, a series inspired by Edward St Aubyn's novels that's coming out in 2018 on Showtime.

The production transformed Glasgow's Vincent Street into New York for the scene, and they did a convincing job of it too. There were yellow cabs and everything.

So Glasgow's going to Halloween as New York, and it's all thanks to Benedict Cumberbatch.

What a time to be alive.

UPDATE: Oct. 30, 2017, 4:33 p.m. GMT Added date and channel info for the series.
