TV series The Wire, heralded as one of the best of all time, is to get a special 20th anniversary home release later this year. The entire series will come to Blu-ray, DVD and Digital from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on 2nd June.
I fell in love with this series fairly recently and I agree, it really is a defining moment in television; a series that would pave the way for a shift in industry focus and the streaming revolution that would follow.
From the drug-infested streets of West Baltimore to the corruption of City Hall, THE WIRE chronicles the tribulations of a post-industrial American city. Viewed from the perspectives of both the police and their targets, the award-winning series captures a world where easy distinctions between good and evil, and crime and punishment, are challenged at every turn.
As you might expect, the new release comes with new bonus materials, all of which are detailed below.
- Four behind-the-scenes documentaries
- 22 audio commentaries with cast and crew
- Three prequels that explore life before The Wire
- Paley Centre for Media event: The Wire Reunion
