GAME OF THRONES: THE COMPLETE SIXTH SEASON:

GAME OF THRONES: THE COMPLETE SIXTH SEASON is available now on Blu-ray and DVD.

The most-watched series in HBO history and a worldwide TV phenomenon, Game of Thrones returns with another power season. This year, after the shocking developments at the end of Season 5 – including Jon Snow’s bloody fate at the hands of Castle Black mutineers, Daenerys’ near-demise at the fighting pits of Meereen, and Cersei’s public humiliation in the streets of King’s Landing – survivors from all parts of Westeros and Essos regroup to press forward, inexorably, towards their uncertain individual fates. Familiar faces will forge new alliances to bolster their strategic chances at survival, while new characters will emerge to challenge the balance of power in the east, west, north and south.

The set features all 10 episodes, plus extensive bonus content including behind-the-scene footage, Deleted Scenes, Histories and Lore and Audio Commentaries.

LOOKING: THE COMPLETE SERIES & MOVIE:

LOOKING: THE COMPLETE SERIES AND MOVIE is available now on Blu-ray and DVD.

Unlike any show out there, the HBO series Looking focuses on current gay life in the Bay Area and on themes that everyone, gay and straight, can relate to: falling in love, finding professional fulfillment, forging an identity in a complicated world, and searching for happiness. Critics have heralded the series as “a real beauty…a stealth breakthrough” (The New Yorker), and now fans and new viewers alike have the chance to add LOOKING THE COMPLETE SERIES AND MOVIE to their home entertainment collection.

The set comes with 16 Audio Commentaries from cast and crew including Jonathan Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez, executive producers Michael Lannan and Andrew Haigh and many more.
