Yesterday Clarissa revealed the DVD details for Supernatural season 6, and because we are just as big fans of the another The CW show that has a core relationship between brothers at the heart, we thought we would share the details of The Vampire Diaries season 2 DVD set. The date that was given on our big list of DVD releases (that can be found here) of August 30, has been confirmed by those lovely folks at TV Shows On DVD who also have details of what can be found along with the 22 episodes of season 2. Here is what you can expect:
Release date: August 30, 2011
Official Description: They're back - and they're not alone. In Season 2, Elena, Stefan, Damon and the other residents of Mystic Falls are joined by a sinister new breed. Released from the tomb, Katherine unleashes her personal brand of evil in a diabolical plot. The Originals - the world's oldest and most dangerous vampires - hunt for Elena, who discovers she has a terrifying connection to their world. And now vampires aren't the only monsters in town. On moonlit nights, werewolves roam in search of victims…including vampires, who succumb to a single werewolf bite.
Cost: $59.98 SRP for a 6-DVD set; $69.97 SRP for the 4-BD high-def version
Special Features (known at this point and subject to change):
- Pages of the Wolf: Three Featurettes - The Myth & The Mystery (Werewolf Lore), Building the Beasts (Working with Actual and Mechanical Wolves) and Howling at the Moon (Michael Trevino's Transformative Makeup Process)
- Her Own Worst Enemy…Elena, Katherine and Nina!: Nina Dobrev Rises to the Challenge of Playing Two Roles
- The Perfect Love Triangle: Vampires, Werewolves, Witches: Setting the Record Straight on Who's Nibbling on Whom for the First Two Seasons
- Unaired Scenes
- Audio Commentary on "Masquerade" With Executive Producers Kevin Williamson & Julie Plec
- Second Bite AKA Gag Reel
- Blu-ray only: A digital copy of all 22 episodes
Note: this looks set as the official cover art for the boxset but it is also subject to change (thanks to vampire-diaries.net and @ShiraRose1 for the heads up)
Overall it looks like a great set, with wide range of features to compliment the 22 episodes, though whilst I am happy to see that there is a commentary track from Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec is too greedy to ask for more? As a self confessed commentary junkie (yep I'm a giant nerd) it would be brilliant to have some tracks that feature some of the cast with the creative forces of the show and hopefully this is something that they will do in the future. I'm glad to see the inclusion of the gag reel once again as this is another DVD special feature that I am fond of, cue more flubbed lines, swearing, falling over, provocative bottle holding and gum disposal. There is a good collection of other behind the scenes sneaks here and it's good to see that there is one focusing on Nina Dobrev and her extended performance this season as both Elena and Katherine. Is there anything missing from the list above that you would like to see included on this season 2 DVD?
