Television shows usually don’t have the luxury of releasing their DVDs right after a season ends. It’s a marketing dream to be able to release a product right when it’s at the top of consumer’s minds. Since Fox’s 24 already filmed the entire season before it debuted this January, fans of the show will be able to buy the season immediately. The seventh season will be released on both DVD and Blu-ray on May 19, 2009., presumably one day after its season finale airs. Fox was also able to release the “24: Redemption” DVD last November right after that aired the Sunday before.
We’re still 11 episodes from the finish line, but this season is turning out to be quite the classic. It represents the first “day” of the show outside of Los Angeles.
We’ll be posting more on the bonus features that will be included in the box set. For now, feast on the box art for both the DVD release and Blu-ray release.
