It was broadcast on SVT1 from 20 March 2010 to 24 April 2010[2] and released on a DVD and Blu-ray boxset titled Millennium Trilogy on 11 November 2011.

[6] Paul Pritchard of DVD Verdict praised the choice for reconfiguring the three films into an extended miniseries stating, "This change of format not only doesn't harm the material, it actually enhances it.
Whether by chance or design, each of the films also has a natural break-off point, where each episode can draw to a close; this allows the viewer to take in each story in easily digestible chunks whilst ensuring they are left desperate to find out what happens next.
The films aren't perfect in terms of their effectiveness as procedural thrillers or dramatic powerhouses, but the elements that they do get right elevate the content to something noteworthy.
