Some months ago we wrote about the new Sherlock series with great anticipation, and we’re delighted to hear that in two short weeks this 21st century take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories has made a clean sweep with the British public – ratings, reviews, the works. The only complaint is that a season of only three 90-minute films now seems cruelly short. Creators Steven Moffat (Coupling, Doctor Who) and Mark Gatiss (The League of Gentlemen, Doctor Who) have nothing against the Victorian period and all those lovely adaptations with hansom cabs emerging from the fog. They simply approached the concept as if Conan Doyle were writing in today’s London. Now that we’ve seen the first two films, we can attest that Sherlock remains remarkably true in spirit to the original stories, and sometimes even the original dialogue. Mark your calendars for Sherlock’s premiere season on Masterpiece Mystery! starting October 24th through November 7th. Our DVD and Blu-ray of the first three films will follow shortly after the broadcast, and includes audio commentaries by creators and actors as well as a 30-minute “making of” featurette.

Will the R1 release include the original pilot episode, as the R2 release does?
I’m sorry, but where’s the one hour pilot version of “A Study In Pink” that will be apart of the UK edition?
Can’t wait ’til it premiers here in October. Thank you Masterpiece Mystery!
News update: The one hour pilot version of “A Study in Pink” will be included as an extra in the Region 1 release!
Please don’t wait to long to release the DVD/BlueRay set! Do you think you will release it on November 9th along with Doctor Who series 5? It would be perfect!
will it be on comcast OnDemand?
Honestly can’t wait for region 1 release on Blu Ray…. Mark Gatis is a linguistic god…
What about Luther?, is that going to be available from the BBCAmericashop anytime soon?
I can’t wait for Sherlock in Oct. I am a huge fan and have a lot of the old Hollywood movies and have many books. Looking forward to seeing how they do this one. Thanks, Masterpiece Mystery. Keep up the good work
