“Fringe: The Complete Second Season” On Blu-Ray and DVD September 14 From Warner Home Video
(June 16, 2010 – Burbank, CA) – When the unimaginable transpires on screen, you know “Fringe” creators J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (the team behind “Star Trek,” “Mission: Impossible III” and “Alias”) are behind it. Witness as the impossible becomes possible and worlds literally collide when Warner Home Video releases the hit TV series “Fringe: The Complete Second Season” on Blu-ray™ and DVD on September 14, 2010 for $59.98/ $69.97. Order due date is August 3, 2010.
Return to explore the boundaries of a mysterious mythology that holds millions of viewers in its hypnotic grasp. Season two of “Fringe” contains worlds (and alternate worlds) of excitement complete with shape shifters, cryonic heads, belly-dwelling beasts and people who turn to ashes before our eyes. But the overarching narrative takes the FBI’s Fringe Division – which includes Special Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv – “The Pacific”), formerly institutionalized “fringe” scientist Walter Bishop (John Noble – “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”) and his son, Peter (Joshua Jackson – “Dawson’s Creek”) – through a mind-bending investigation of a parallel reality that threatens to destroy ours. The impossible is here in a series that The New York Times says offers “the most satisfying, coherent story arc of any science-fiction-flavored primetime drama.”
Fringe is executive produced by J.J. Abrams, Jeff Pinkner (“Alias”), J.H. Wyman (“The Mexican”) and Bryan Burk (“Star Trek”), with Alex Kurtzman (“Star Trek,” “Transformers”), Roberto Orci (“Star Trek,” “Transformers”) and Akiva Goldsman (“The Da Vinci Code”) serving as consulting producers. The series stars Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, Lance Reddick (“The Wire”), Blair Brown (“Altered States”), Jasika Nicole (“Take the Lead”) and John Noble.
