The film had originally been released on Netflix in 2021, garnering plenty of critical acclaims, awards nominations and wins.
Many labelled The Power of the Dog as one of the best films of 2021, and now, the movie is coming to BBC Two tonight (Friday 30th May) at 11pm.
The film unfolds in 1925 Montana on a ranch, following two vastly different brothers: Cumberbatch's controlling Phil Burbank and Jesse Plemons's amiable George.
When George brings home a new wife, Rose (Kirsten Dunst), and her son (Kodi Smit-McPhee), Phil doesn't take too kindly to their intrusion, and soon, the unexpected starts to unfold.
Adapted from Thomas Savage's acclaimed 1967 novel of the same name, the film had a limited theatrical release back in 2021 and has proven to be a popular hit for Netflix ever since.
Veteran actor Sam Elliott took the film’s portrayal of the American West as "f**king personal", speaking on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast at the time.

He continued: "These people still exist in our world. Whether it's on our doorstep or whether it's down the road or whether it's someone we meet in a bar or pub or on the sports field, there is aggression and anger and frustration and an inability to control or know who you are in that moment that causes damage to that person and, as we know, damage to those around them. "
He added: "There's no harm in looking at a character to get to the root causes of that. This is a very specific case of repression, but also due to an intolerance for that true identity that Phil is that he can't fully be."
