Arlington, Va. – June 19, 2018 – PBS Distribution announced
today that it is releasing the third season of the multi-award winning British
crime drama, “THE TUNNEL: VENGEANCE
SEASON 3” on DVD and Digital HD. The
emotional final season of the critically acclaimed bilingual crime thriller
reunites Stephen Dillane (“Game of Thrones”) in his International Emmy
Award-winning role as Karl Roebuck with Clémence Poésy (“Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows: Part II”) as Elise Wassermann for their last outing as the
beloved and unlikely Anglo-French duo.
“THE TUNNEL: VENGEANCE SEASON 3,” (SRP $49.99) will be available on DVD July 17, 2018 and has a run time of approximately 285 minutes. The
program will also be available for digital download.
In “THE
TUNNEL: VENGEANCE,” the investigative pair takes on a toxic and
terrifying folie à deux whose mutual defining quality is an
existential death wish. When the question posed by the couple – what is a life
worth? – is directed straight back at Karl, he is forced to confront an utterly
impossible choice that will haunt the audience long after the closing credits.
Set
amidst mid-Brexit hysteria, “THE TUNNEL: VENGEANCE” tackles an
escalating refugee crisis and examines the increasing threat of terror
occasioned by disenfranchised, exiled souls on whom society has turned its
back.

SABOTOGE” had 1.1
