The date which creator Tom Fontana posted to his website has been confirmed by HBO today.
It's a new year, and Emerald City's got a brand-new look. The walls are cleaner, the cafeteria is bigger, and everything is fresher...everything on the outside, that is. Inside the hearts and minds of the prisoners, Oz is just as dark and raw as ever. The renovations may be complete, but the mayhem is starting all over again.
The 3 disc set containing all 8 season 5 episodes will hit the streets on
June 21. The technical specs are standard for the
Oz releases; full frame (1.33:1) video, English Dolby Digital 5.1 and stereo tracks, and a Spanish mono track. There are English, French and Spanish subtitles as well.
Special features include deleted scenes, commentary with Tom Fontana and Dean Winters on episode 8 ("Impotence"), and season 1-4 recaps. The set carries a suggested price of $64.98 US.
