FOREVER: THE COMPLETE SERIES
GAINS IMMORTALITY JANUARY 19 ON DVD VIA
WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION
Once again, Warner Archive Collection rewards fan loyalty with the release of a much-beloved series – Forever: The Complete Series comes to DVD on Tuesday, January 19, 2016 via WBshop.com and popular online retailers.
Fresh off its single-season run on ABC in 2014-2015, Forever: The Complete Series
includes all 22 episodes as well as additional never-before-seen
deleted scenes from many of the episodes on a 5-disc DVD set. Creator
and Executive Producer Matthew Miller (Chuck, Human Target, The 100) is thrilled the series will live on through its DVD release.
“We’re
so proud of this series and the way it resonated with fans,” Miller
says. “I’m excited for the fans that we’re not only able to release all
22 episodes on DVD, but include previously unseen footage. It’s another
chance to breathe new life into the show for both devoted fans and new
viewers.”
The
series’ premise struck an instant chord with fans: What would you do if
you had all the time in the world? The otherworldly drama – from Miller
and fellow executive producers Dan Lin (Sherlock Holmes) and Jennifer Gwartz (Veronica Mars)
– follows Dr. Henry Morgan (Ioan Gruffudd), a star New York City
medical examiner, on his journey to answer that looming question. Henry
has a vested interest in studying the dead: He is immortal, and only his
best friend and confidant, Abe (Judd Hirsch), full of life at age 75,
knows Henry’s secret. Henry hasn’t aged at all since the clock stopped
200 years ago, but he’s managed to be discreet without anyone finding
out his affliction. That task becomes increasingly difficult when he
meets NYPD detective Jo Martinez (Alana De La Garza), who is fascinated
by Henry after learning he was the sole survivor of a horrific train
crash — and his knowledge proves extremely helpful to her in solving
crimes.
“This
series is about a character who is immortal, and to that point the show
never ends – it never dies,” Miller says. “Given the incredible fan
support we’ve received, I feel like that’s true. The fans have not
stopped for a minute. They host live Twitter events and have created fan
fiction, online graphic novels, you name it. Social media and the
release of the full-series DVD continue to make this show immortal.”
