Showtime/Paramount has just announced The L Word - The Complete 4th Season for release on DVD. All 12 episodes are yours on October 23rd, in a 625-minute set that offers lots of star power, including new cast members Cybill Shepherd ( Moonlighting) and Marlee Matlin ( The West Wing). Here's the studio description:
THE L WORD Season 4 picks up with the women wrestling with issues close to their hearts. As with previous seasons, old demons rear their ugly heads and a host of new characters are brought into their fold, offering them access to a broader community with diverse issues. THE L WORD® stars Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, Laurel Holloman, Mia Kirshner, Katherine Moennig, Dallas Roberts, Daniela Sea, Rachel Shelley, and Pam Grier. Newest additions to the cast include Cybill Shepherd, Marlee Matlin, Janina Gavankar and Rose Rollins. Special guest stars are Rosanna Arquette, Eric Roberts, Bruce Davison, Kristanna Loken and Jane Lynch. This season, the war in Iraq becomes an integral part of Alice's (Hailey) life as she struggles to move on after the death of Dana; Helena (Shelley) tries to find financial independence and come to terms with leaving behind a world of privilege; Phyllis Kroll (Shepherd) -- who takes the courageous plunge late in life to come out of the closet -- risking everything that has defined her life up to now; and, Bette (Beals) has to deal with Jodi Lerner (Matlin), a woman who confronts her head-on about her Type-A personality.
Video is widescreen and audio is both Dolby 5.1 and Dolby 2.0. No word yet on any extras. Cover art isn't available yet, either, but we're expecting it to generally look like the art on the latest music CD release from the show. That's been the pattern for the previous three DVD sets, anyway. Stay tuned and we'll bring you that official box art, plus any other updates, just as soon as we can!
