Fringe: Season One Blu-ray Details & Cover Art

After being available for pre-order at Amazon.com for weeks, Warner Home Video has formally announced Fringe: Season One will arrive on Blu-ray and DVD September 8. This is great news for people like me who, after giving up only 2 episodes in, can get caught up since the show picked up momentum as the season progressed.

Fringe stars Anna Torv, John Noble and Joshua Jackson as colleagues investigating unusual phenomena. The Bad Robot Star Trek team of J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci created the show which is known to feature a cameo or two, such as Leonard Nimoy.

Fringe’s Blu-ray journey will begin presented in 1.78:1 1080p video with 5.1 Dolby Digital, identical to how Warner is offering both seasons of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Blu-ray.

Bonus features are relatively extensive and do include a pair of Blu-ray exclusives, one wrapped around BD-Live.

  • Fringe Pattern Analysis – Take a closer look at 6 select scenes from Season 1 with experts who dissect each scene with notes, photos, and diagrams. (BD exclusive)
