“Dark Blue: The Complete First Season” From Warner Home Entertainment on July 6
(June 30, 2010 – Burbank, CA) – Prolific television and film producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s police drama series “Dark Blue” is set for release July 6, 2010 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group (WBHEG). Titled “Dark Blue: The Complete First Season,” this release will be available via disc-on-demand only and can be purchased online at WBshop.com (www.wbshop) and the TNT store (http://shop.tnt.tv/) for $29.95 SRP. Consumers will have the opportunity to watch “Dark Blue’s” entire premiere season before the show’s second season premieres on TNT August 4.
Edgy, mysterious and atmospheric, “Dark Blue” is a high-octane cop drama that centers on a group of dedicated law enforcers who operate in the shadows and lead double lives. The series focuses on LAPD Lt. Carter Shaw (Dylan McDermott – “The Practice”), part of a special undercover task force so covert that many of their own colleagues don’t even know of their actions. The strong-willed Shaw often pushes the limits of the law, understanding that in order to capture criminals, one must first get on their level. The task force also knows that going undercover may require cutting ties with those who mean the most. Adrift, isolated and frequently faced with situations that strain the line between right and wrong, these officers know that all that matters is loyalty to each other and the task at hand – bringing down the bad guys.
In addition to McDermott, Omari Hardwick (“The Guardian”), Logan Marshall-Green (“The O.C.”) and Nicki Aycox (“Supernatural”) star in the first season of "Dark Blue." Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman (“CSI” series), Danny Cannon (“CSI” series), Doug Jung (“Big Love”) and Rick Eid (“Law & Order”) are the executive producers of the series, from Jerry Bruckheimer Television (JBTV) in association with Warner Horizon Television.
“Dark Blue” is the second JBTV series to be offered via disc-on-demand: “Eleventh Hour,” JBTV’s science-based drama, was released in this format last year.
