Sherlock Holmes is on the case!
They’re two tales too epic for just one box set – Series 7 of Sherlock Holmes is now set to be released as two stories over 2021 and 2022.
As previously announced, Nicholas Briggs returns as Sherlock Holmes with Richard Earl as Watson in these two full-cast audio dramas, as they go head-to-head with new and old villains alike and once again solve the unsolvable.
Sherlock Holmes – The Seamstress of Peckham Rye remains due for release in July 2021, as originally advertised. However, due to unavoidable production issues, the release date of Sherlock Holmes – The Fiends of New York has now been moved to May 2022.
For a very limited time, Big Finish listeners can save money with a limited-edition bundle for the two tales of Sherlock Holmes – Series 7, available to pre-order on CD (at £19.99) or digital download (at £16.99). This bundle offer is available until 23:59 (UK time) on Friday 09 April 2021, after which the pre-order bundle price will revert to £38 on CD and £33 on download HERE.
Please note: all previously-placed pre-orders for the single Sherlock Holmes – Series 7 release will be converted to a pre-order bundle of the two separate releases at no extra cost.
Big Finish’s Sherlock Holmes range covers retellings of some of the classic Holmes stories, including The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Speckled Band and The Final Problem, as well as a whole run of brand-new tales.
Writer Jonathan Barnes said “When you start thinking about writing new stories for Sherlock Holmes, it's almost as though the original stories are welcoming you in – there’s all these incredible gaps, tantalising hints dropped, and things that Watson is too discreet to say! So you can go into these gaps in the canon, trying to be as respectful as possible playing in Conan Doyle’s world, colouring in between the lines.
“It’s a childhood dream come true, to be able to write these stories. And my goodness, I've been very lucky at Big Finish! I’ve been allowed to write an awful lot of Holmes material for them, coming up to ten years – it was 2012 when we did the first one that I wrote. By the time this seventh series is complete, it will be a decade’s worth of stories!”
Sherlock Holmes – The Seamstress of Peckham Rye and Sherlock Holmes – The Fiends of New York are each also available to pre-order separately as collector's edition 3-CD box sets (at £19.99) or digital downloads (at £16.99) HERE!
The limited-edition bundle offer must end at 23:59 (UK time) on 09 April 2021.

The mail-out of collector’s edition CDs may be delayed due to factors beyond our control, but all purchases of this release unlock a digital copy that can be immediately downloaded or played on the Big Finish app from the release date.
