Wallander Season 3 Premieres This Sunday, September 9th on Masterpiece Mystery!

Just a quick reminder that the first of three new episodes of Wallander airs this Sunday, September 9th on PBS's Masterpiece Mystery!

Though all the previous episodes in this series have been adapted from the novels by Henning Mankell, the first episode of this season, "An Event in Autumn", is adapted from the 2004 short story "Händelse om hösten", which to our knowledge has never been translated into English. A pregnant woman leaps to her death from the side of a ferry. Or was she pushed? The routine case barely disturbs Wallander’s newly blissful life with Vanja (Saskia Reeves). But the happy couple discovers the decade-old corpse of a murdered woman on their property. With Wallander’s work now getting too close to home, he follows the leads of two investigations that become increasingly entangled. On top of it, tragedy strikes one of his colleagues and Wallander blames himself — with good reason.

The second episode of the season, "The Dogs of Riva" (based on the second novel in the series), airs on Sunday, September 16th, with the final episode of the season, "Before the Frost" (based on the first novel to feature Wallander's daughter as a newly graduated police officer), airs on Sunday, September 23rd.

All three episodes will be released on DVD on September 25th. An "all regions" Blu-ray disc is already available.
