A couple of weeks ago we
broke the news that CBS/Paramount was beginning to solicate
Ghost Whisperer - The 2nd Season for DVD release in September. At the time our info showed 9/25 as the release date, but this morning the studio has brought out their official announcement, and the street date gets a week better as Paramount adjusts it to a
Sept. 18th debut. Since word came down a few days after our last story that the show got renewed for the 2007-08 season on CBS, maybe the new DVD date is more compatible with a lead-in to the Fall season start.
The 15-hour set will have all 22 episodes from the second season, in anamorphic widescreen video and English Dolby soundtracks in both straight stereo and 5.1 Surround. The set is closed captioned for the hearing impaired. Bonus material will include Commentary Tracks on select episodes by directors and producers, behind-the-scenes featurettes,
Ghost Whisperer webisodes, fortune-revealing tarot cards, and more.
During the 2nd season of
Ghost Whisperer, star Jennifer Love Hewitt is reunited with her
Party of Five co-star Lacey Chabert. Other guest stars this season include Jay Mohr (in a recurring role), Michael Landes (
Lois & Clark), Debi Mazar (
Entourage), Thomas F. Wilson (

Friends) makes her final appearance this season. Here is the studio's description, followed by the packaging:
Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) communicates with earthbound spirits, ghosts who cling to the living because they have unfinished business that prevents them from moving beyond the familiar plane of existence that we call life. Inspired in part by the work of famed medium James Van Praagh and of Mary Ann Winkowski, a real-life communicator with spirits, GHOST WHISPERER explores the spiritual side of life and death as Melinda navigates among the dead and the living in her sometimes chilling, sometimes heart-rending and sometimes amusing attempts to act as an intermediary between the ghosts and those they haunt. Jim (David Conrad), her husband, worries about the emotional toll this work is taking on his wife as they embark on a new life together. Andrea, her friend and business partner in their antique store, is fascinated by Melinda's talent. Melinda is somewhat reluctant to reveal her "gift" to new friend Delia Banks (Camryn Manheim), a single mom who lives in Grandview, fearing the consequences of drawing her into this "unconventional" world. For her part, Melinda accepts her unique abilities as a blessing and sometime a curse, but always helps her clients--alive or dead--find emotional closure.
