AS WARNER HOME VIDEO RELEASES
FRINGE: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON
ON BLU-RAY(tm) AND DVD ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2011
"Fringe continues its hot streak known as Season 3. ... It's been firing
on
all cylinders all season." - Andrew Hanson, LATimes.com
BURBANK, CA (June 28, 2011) - The mystery of the universe(s) deepens and
two worlds collide with the release of Fringe: The Complete Third Season
from Warner Home Video (WHV). The critically acclaimed third season of
television's most thrilling sci-fi series features 22 mind-bending
episodes with over three hours of brand new special features, including a
Blu-rayTM exclusive featurette and free download offer for an HD digital

Fringe: The Complete Third Season comes to DVD and Blu-rayTM for the first
time September 6, 2011 for $59.98 / $69.97 SRP.
Immersive. Compelling. Hypnotic. Brilliantly imaginative. Endlessly
thrilling. Pick your term. The Fringe team escapes from the parallel
universe - except for Olivia, trapped in the other world and replaced in
ours by her double, who turns Peter and Olivia's tentative relationship
into a love affair. Then Olivia returns, bonds of trust fray, ever more
bizarre and terrifying phenomena occur, and secrets that stretch back to
1985 threaten to destroy our universe. Or theirs.
"Following the series' recent renewal for a fourth season, Warner Home
Video is thrilled to release Fringe: The Complete Third Season on DVD and
Blu-rayTM " said Rosemary Markson, WHV Vice President, TV and Special
Interest Marketing. "This year, in addition to two and a half hours of

planet. In addition to the numerous eco-friendly activities that the
network and its sister companies support year-round, FOX’s Earth Week

· www.fox.com/greenitmeanit : To better support the network’s
greening efforts, FOX has revamped and re-launched
http://www.fox.com/greenitmeanit, the network’s
dedicated “Green It. Mean It.” website. The site hosts videos, photos and

* Joshua Jackson – “More than 1 trillion gallons of untreated sewage,
storm water and industrial waste end up in U.S. waters ever year. Take a
stand and ask your local government to enforce environmental protection
laws.” FOX’s Earth Week initiatives are only a small part of FOX’s ongoing “Green
It. Mean It.” campaign. For the past six years, FOX has hosted the FOX
Fall Eco-Casino party, a benefit for various eco-friendly charities,
including The Nature Conservancy, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los
Angeles, Global Green USA, among others. Last year, FOX donated two solar
panels, previously used on the AMERICAN IDOL finale red carpet, to schools
in Los Angeles and New York. This spring, FOX will donate the solar panel
from its most recent Emmy Awards red carpet to an additional school. In
addition, the Environmental Media Award-winning TEEN CHOICE AWARDS
annually implements numerous “green” initiatives, including the use of
solar and natural gas power, a Woolly Pocket vertical garden as a
step-and-repeat and, in a red carpet first, cyclists generating power to
cool talent and the media.
