For the very first time, the classic sci-fi series Babylon 5 is coming home on the Blu-ray format. The box set arrives this December.
Humans and aliens
It seems almost impossible that Babylon 5 hasn’t gotten the Blu-ray treatment yet, but somehow the classic 90s icon escaped the format. When you consider the amount of stuff that’s appeared on the high-def discs, that’s just weird.
Whatever the reason though, the drought is over, as the show will indeed be pressed and shipped in a neat little box set.
2258 CE. Five hostile federations dominate the outermost regions of space. Heroes, thieves, and rare and exotic beings find refuge in this time of uneasy peace and the constant threat of war on a lone space station — the last and best hope for peace between a hundred worlds, alien and human alike — Babylon 5
Warner Bros press release
Babylon 5: The Complete Series will naturally include all the episodes of the series, but it’ll toss in the pilot movie as well, titled The Gathering. So it really is a complete look back at the ground-breaking show that it was.
Fans can expect to see it hitting stores this December, just in time for a little holiday season gifting (or getting). It’ll be priced in at $99.99 USD/$119.99 CAD.
