The Pink Panther is one of the few film franchises instantly recognizable by its theme tune, and if you’ve never seen it, you can grab four classic entries in the series on 4K Blu-ray starting December 30. Each new release includes a standard Blu-ray disc of the movie and special features. Preorders are available now, and each one is discounted to $31.49 (was $45) at Amazon. Here’s a look at all four of the upcoming Pink Panther 4K Blu-rays, along with links to preorder if you’re interested.
The Pink Panther (1963) (4K)
$31.49 (was $45) | Releases December 30
The Pink Panther film series began with the original film in 1963, introducing the world to the blundering French police inspector Jacques Clouseau, played by Peter Sellers. Facing off against the dashing European thief Sir Charles Lytton (David Niven), Clouseau had to match what few wits he had against the master criminal and prevent him from stealing the titular Pink Panther diamond.
This new 4K Blu-ray release is the first time the film has been available in 4K. Preorders are discounted to $31.49 (was $45) at Amazon.
A Shot in the Dark (4K)
$31.49 (was $45) | Releases December 30
The next film in the series, A Shot in the Dark, hit theaters in 1964 and sees Sellers return as Inspector Clouseau. This was a standalone sequel to The Pink Panther, and it introduced Clouseau’s boss, Commissioner Dreyfus, who was the frequent victim of the inspector’s near-lethal clumsiness.
Just like The Pink Panther, this new A Shot in the Dark 4K Blu-ray launches on December 30, and Amazon is marking down preorders to $31.49 (was $45).
The Pink Panther Strikes Again (4K)
$31.49 (was $45) | Releases December 30
Sellers reunited with director Blake Edwards and several familiar faces for Return of the Pink Panther in 1975–though, strangely, that film’s 4K Blu-ray version is planned to launch later in 2026 and it not available to preorder. However, its 1976 follow-up, The Pink Panther Strikes Again, is getting a 4K Blu-ray on the same day as the others. This entry follows the now-deranged Commissioner Dreyfus from the previous films and his schemes to murder Clouseau.
Revenge of the Pink Panther (4K)
$31.49 (was $45) | Releases December 30
The final Pink Panther 4K Blu-ray launching on December 30 is 1978’s Revenge of the Pink Panther. This film closes out Sellers’ run as Clouseau, and sees the detective take on French drug kingpin Philippe Douvier. Just like the other releases, preorders are discounted to $31.49 (was $45) at Amazon.
While this covers most of the mainline films starring Peter Sellers as Inspector Jacques Clouseau, the third film in the series, Return of the Pink Panther, is expected to be released on 4K Blu-ray later in 2026.
