Shout! Releasing Farscape 25th Anniversary Blu-ray!

Shout! is releasing a Farscape Blu-ray box set celebrating the show's 25th Anniversary.


The 22-disc set will include all 88 episodes, the Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars miniseries, and hours of new and previously released extras.

For those unfamiliar with the series:

John Crichton. Astronaut. Flung through a wormhole and lost in a galaxy far from home. He finds himself in the middle of a prison break, surrounded by hostile aliens, soaring through space inside a glorious living spaceship called Moya. Hunted by the relentless Peacekeepers, he allies himself with his unimaginably alien fellow refugees and searches for a way home. So begins the epic sci-fi classic Farscape.

 A fusion of live action, state-of-the-art puppetry, prosthetics and CGI, Farscape features mind-boggling alien life forms, dazzling special effects, edge-of-your-seat thrills, irreverent humor and unforgettable characters all brought to life by the creative minds at Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
