Medium - CBS to release season 2 in October

From Emmy Award-winning executive producer, creator and director Glenn Gordon Caron ("Moonlighting") comes "Medium," a chilling drama series inspired by the real-life story of research medium Allison DuBois. Emmy winner Patricia Arquette ("Stigmata," "Flirting with Disaster") stars as a young wife and mother who, since childhood, has been struggling to make sense of her dreams and visions of dead people. Arquette received the Emmy in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category after the telecast of the initial 16 episodes of the critically acclaimed series. Allison DuBois (Arquette) is a strong-willed young mother of three, a devoted wife and law student who begins to suspect that she can talk to dead people, see the future in her dreams and read people's thoughts. Fearing for her mental health, she turns for support to her husband Joe (Jake Weber, "U-571"), an aerospace engineer, who slowly comes to believe that what his wife is telling him just might be true. The real challenge is convincing her boss, D.A. Devalos (Miguel Sandoval) -- and the other doubters in the criminal justice system -- that her psychic abilities can give them the upper hand when it comes to solving violent and horrifying crimes whose mysteries often reside with those who live beyond the grave.
Sofia Vassilieva and Maria Lark also star as Ariel and Bridgette, the two eldest DuBois children. This season, David Cubitt ("10.5") becomes a series regular in the role of Detective Lee Scanlon.

The release of season 1 comes next week, and CBS has already announced plans for the second season, due on October 3. The 6 disc sets contains the entire 22 episode season, along with some great bonus material. The second season of the show featured a special 3D episode which required viewers to wear special glasses to get the effect, and each Medium season 2 set will contain a pair of the glasses. There will be cast and crew commentaries on select episodes, and two featurettes; "The Story of Medium, Season 2" and "Medium in Another Dimension." There may be some other bonus material as well, but that's all we have for now. The show will be presented in Anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) with an English Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track.

We've had a number of people ask us why CBS would be distributing a show that airs on NBC. A few months ago CBS Home Video gained control over all of Paramount's TV titles, and they now produce the titles. While Medium airs on CBS, it's a Paramount Television production, so CBS Home Video works on the DVD set.
