The Blacklist: The Complete First Season will be available to own on Blu-ray and DVD from 22nd September 2014.
The hit show, which returns for a second season later this year, stars James Spader, Megan Boone, Ryan Eggold, Parminder Nagra, Harry Lennix and Diego Klattenhoff. The first season consists of 22 episodes and the release is packed with hours worth of extras.
For decades, ex-government agent Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader) has been one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as “The concierge of Crime.” Now, he’s mysteriously surrendered to the FBI with an explosive offer: he will help catch the world’s most elusive criminals, under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth “Liz” Keen (Megan Boone, TV’s “Law & Order: Los Angeles”), an FBI profiler fresh out of Quantico. For Liz, it’s going to be one hell of a first day on the job.
