The Borgias Season 2, Californication Season 5 and the brand new series Awkward come to DVD this October.
THE BORGIAS (SEASON 2)
The Emmy nominated Borgias is back for a second season as the intriguing historical drama continues. Starring Oscar®-winner Jeremy Irons as Rodrigo Borgia, the series follows the rise of the Borgia family to the pinnacle of the Roman Catholic Church and their struggles to maintain their grip on power.
In season 2, the Borgia family continues their relentless quest for wealth and power as Pope Alexander solidifies his grip on the papacy with the help of two loyal allies. Meanwhile, Cesare secures the family fortunes and defends the papacy and Rome itself from its enemies, and Juan drives a permanent wedge between the Borgia siblings that leads Cesare to commit the ultimate crime.
Including extensive special features, The Borgias Season 2 will be available on DVD and Blu-ray™ from the 17th of October. Technical details available below.
CALIFORNICATION (SEASON 5)
Your favourite womanizer is back as Hank Moody returns in the seductively entertaining Californication Season 5. The talented yet dysfunctional author with the gift of the gab and an effective way with women, continues his extremely libertarian ways in Season 5 of the unique comedy series.
Hank returns to LA from his new home in New York to write the screenplay for a big action movie starring Samurai Apocalypse, a popular rap star, and quickly gets into hot water with Samurai’s beautiful but dangerous girlfriend. Hanks ex-wife Karen faces the deterioration of her marriage due to Bates’ heavy drinking and Becca, Hank’s daughter, dates a charming but obnoxious guy who has a little too much in common with Hank.
Boasting extensive special features including Chic Mixology and Seven Tips for Healthy Parenting, Californication Season 5 will be available on DVD from the 17th of October. Technical details available below.
AWKWARD (SEASON 1)
Indulge in the perils of teenage angst as MTV’s latest hit, Awkward, debuts its first season onto DVD in October. Awkward centres around high school loner Jenna Hamilton, played by Ashley Rickards, who narrates the series through her blog posts and captures the humour within the struggles and experiences everyone can relate to from their formative years. Jenna, like many teenagers, feels invisible and wants desperately to find her place in the social hierarchy that is high school.
The story picks up in the aftermath of Jenna’s accident which has left the student body mistaking her misfortune for a suicide attempt. While the stigma of her accident teamed with the other daily drama that comes with being a teenager could be the curse of her life, Jenna’s determined to make it her life’s blessing. Described by the New York Times as “an exquisite mix of satire and sincerity” (Ginia Bellafante, The New York Times) Awkward sets itself apart from other shows by taking a refreshingly real look at teenage life. No vampires, no teenage pregnancy, just a teenager trying to navigate life somewhere in the social middle.
Boasting extensive bonus content including behind the scenes footage and cast Awkward moments, Awkward Season 1 will be available on DVD from the 17th of October. Technical details available below.
