Wallander Series 3, New This Week on All Regions Blu-ray Disc

Earlier today we posted the new television crime drama series being released this week on DVD and Blu-ray disc.

However it seems we missed one.

We have in our notes that the third season/series of Wallander is being released on September 25th. And apparently it still is … on DVD for Region 1, which includes the US and Canada.

But then we noticed that the Blu-ray disc format of the season is being released this week in an "all regions" version.

Wallander is based on a character created by crime novelist Henning Mankell. Included on this third season release are three episodes from the series:

"An Event in Autumn": Wallander moves into a dream home with his new girlfriend. But his happiness is shattered when the skeleton of a girl is discovered in the garden. Wallander must try to get his new life back on track by finding her killer, but the case is not as cold as he thinks. Based on the 2004 short story "Händelse om hösten", which to our knowledge has never been translated into English.

"The Dogs of Riga": After two Eastern European corpses are washed ashore on a raft in Ystad, Wallander travels to Latvia on the hunt for the killers. Thrown into a cold, alien world of police surveillance and lies, Wallander soon finds himself entangled in a web of corruption with no one to trust. Adapted from the second book in the series, originally published as Hundarna i Riga in 1992 and released in the US as The Dogs of Riga.

"Before the Frost": A friend of Wallander's daughter comes begging for his help but then disappears. Meanwhile, an elderly woman's body is found cremated in a shallow grave. Killed by a seemingly religious obsessive, Wallander must catch the culprit before he strikes again. Adapted from the 2002 mystery Innan frosten, which was published in the US as Before the Frost, this novel features Wallander's daughter, Linda, a new graduate from the police academy, as the lead character.
