Farscape – Back on DVD in Nov. – Press Release details!
APK | July 1, 2009 | 9:42 pmSo maybe some of you noticed – Farscape vanished on DVD recently. ADV lost the license to produce the DVDs (Lion’s Gate has the license for Peacekeeper War and that stays) so the DVDs vanished and had no home. It’s also the shows 10th anniversary this year. It’s been a while and it is hard as hell to introduce someone to the show since you can’t buy it. Netflix was in the middle of replacing their older DVDs when it happened so I think they now have seasons 2-3 but not 1 or 4. Which is not helpful. Anyway! Henson released a press release today that contained the following:
“Blasting off in November 2009, as the show marks its 10th Anniversary, the treasure of the newly re-packaged DVD line will feature a Farscape home entertainment first: THE COMPLETE SERIES MEGASET. Never before available in one package, A&E Home Entertainment brings together all four out-of-this-world seasons with countless hours of absorbing bonus programming featuring multiple commentaries, interviews with cast and crew, behind-the-scenes featurettes and much more! Single season collector’s sets will also be released, offering genre fans of all walks the opportunity to sample this superlative sci-fi classic.”
So there you go. November. A complete series set and new season sets. No word on pricing or new features, or how many of the old features are kept (my guess on the last is almost all and certainly all the commentaries). More as I get it.
