In what year did the BBC television series 'Sherlock' first premiere? It first premiered in 2010.
The first episode, 'A Study in Pink,' was broadcast on BBC One and BBC HD on 25 July 2010. The modernized series was created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, with Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr. John Watson.
Rather than adapting the stories as period dramas, 'Sherlock' transplanted Holmes’s methods, characters, and mysteries into contemporary London. The first series contained three feature-length episodes: 'A Study in Pink,' 'The Blind Banker,' and 'The Great Game.'
The year can be confused with 2011 or 2012 because the second series aired in January 2012 and the show gained a large international audience as later episodes arrived. In the United States, the first series premiered on PBS in October 2010, after its BBC debut.
