In May, BBC and 2Entertain Home Entertainment will bring Sherlock: Season Two to Blu-ray shortly after the program's U.S. airing on Masterpiece Theater.
Created by writer Steven Moffat (Doctor Who) and actor Mark Gatiss (The League of Gentlemen), this reimagining of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic literary sleuth stars Benedict Cumberbatch (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) as Sherlock Holmes, a socially deficient-but-brilliant detective who, along with his best friend and sidekick Watson (Martin Freeman, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), investigates some of the worst crimes in contemporary London.
In Season Two, Holmes and Watson become immersed in the following ninety-minute mysteries:
A Scandal in Belgravia: Holmes squares off against Irene Adler (Lara Pulver, True Blood), an expert hacker and manipulator whose interest in Sherlock might be more than just intellectual.
The Hounds of Baskerville: This adaptation of Doyle's most famous Holmes story finds the detective and Watson combing through the Dartmoor countryside for a threat with seemingly supernatural powers.
The Reichenbach Fall: As Holmes' fame grows around the world, he draws the ire of diabolical criminal mastermind Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott, John Adams), thus igniting a deadly confrontation between the two men.
While the BBC has not yet detailed the technical specifications for this two-disc set, the package does contain a number of bonus supplements, including:
Commentaries on A Scandal in Belgravia and The Hounds of Baskerville
Sherlock Uncovered behind-the-scenes featurette
Sherlock: Season Two is expected to street on May 22nd.
