From Executive Producers David Mamet and Shawn Ryan, THE UNIT is an action drama that follows a covert team of Special Forces operatives as they risk their lives on undercover missions around the globe, while their families maintain the home front, protecting their husbands' secrets. Jonas Blane (Dennis Haysbert, 24) leads the Unit on missions out in the field and is responsible for taking new recruit Bob Brown (Scott Foley Scrubs) under his wing. The Unit includes Jonas, Colonel Tom Ryan (Robert Patrick, The X-Files), Mack Gerhardt (Max Martini, Harsh Realm), Charles Grey (Michael Irby, Line of Fire), Hector Williams (Demore Barnes, The Associates) and Bob Brown, all highly skilled, trustworthy, brave and dependable soldiers whose ability to rely on each other is what creates their brotherhood. Jonas' wife, Molly (Regina Taylor, I'll Fly Away), is the base matriarch who comforts and counsels the other wives as they cope with the fear and uncertainty they experience when their husbands leave home. Molly and Tiffy Gerhardt (Abby Brammell, Six Feet Under), a wife hiding her own dark secrets, help Bob's pregnant wife, Kim (Audrey Marie Anderson, Still Life), acclimate to the stress of her new secret life.
CBS's The Unit is coming to DVD this Fall, we're told. In mid-September you'll get a 4-disc set with all 13 episodes, about half of them with Commentary Tracks, plus a couple of Featurettes and Deleted Scenes as well. List price will be about $50-ish. Stay tuned for exact details and the specific street date just as soon as Fox Home Entertainment makes this official!
