Back in mid-February, just a week after it began airing, CBS/Paramount
announced the June 10th DVD release of
Jericho - The 2nd Season. Then, just a couple of days later, the studio
withdrew the announcement, with no explanation. Speculation at the time was that this was simply too soon after the season began airing, and that it would be re-announced after the 7-episode second season run.
Now the season - and the entire show, it seems - is finished, and CBS DVD and Paramount Home Entertainment have once again added
Jericho - The 2nd Season DVD set to their schedule. The date shown is a week later than before, but it's probably firm this time:
June 17th.
Video is going to be widescreen, and audio in 5.1 Surround. No other details (such as pricing) were provided yet, nor box art, but stay tuned and we'll bring that to you as soon as possible. On the same day, Paramount will also take both the first and second seasons, and bundle them together in simple shrinkwrap plastic (no special packaging) and release that as "
Jericho - The Complete Series. This is standard procedure for this studio, though, and if our past experience hold true then there will be no special pricing or content on the bundle.
UPDATE: Just a few hours after their announcement this morning, CBS/Paramount has updated us with a list of extras for
Jericho - The 2nd Season, plus the box art:
- Commentary by Dan Shotz and Jon Steinberg on 5 episodes
- Series Finale As Broadcast AND Series Finale With Alternate Unaired Ending
- Featurette: Rebuilding Jericho
- Featurette: Nut Job
