For this week’s edition of The Digital Wire we’ve got more new Blu-ray and DVD release news than a single human being should be legally permitted to process, including some bonus features updates for a few titles on which we have previously reported. There’s so much good stuff here that for many of us our bank accounts are going to be shedding a little weight this autumn.

Waiting for a new season of Sherlock is already hard enough as it is, so waiting for two years for new episodes makes it that much harder. But developing these episodes isn’t easy, for Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are essentially working on three movies in the span of a year. And with the actors both in high demand, scheduling to work on a new season has been difficult.

Freeman was conducting a few interviews earlier this week, and spoke about a Sherlock Christmas Special. It wasn’t the new season we were all hoping for, but getting one episode of Sherlock, a Christmas-themed episode no less, would be more than enough to satisfy our fix. But as it turns out, there is more to it than that. It has been confirmed that the Christmas Special will also be followed by season four of the series. Hit the jump for more.

So, I spent a decent amount of time compiling a list of movies and TV shows new to Netflix Instant Streaming for June 2014. It’s a pretty cool list, so I suggest you check it out.

Anyhow, what I didn’t know at the time of that posting is that come this Monday, June 2, 2014, Season 3 off the BBC series Sherlock is coming to Netflix streaming! This is huge news for those of us in the United States considering that the season is not yet available on DVD and Blu-ray here (it is out in the UK).

According to Vulture, Netflix will also be streaming two Sherlock behind-the-scenes features: Sherlock Uncovered, a set of three half-hour making-of specials following each episode, and Unlocking Sherlock, a one-hour behind-the-scenes feature about the making of the series.
