This August, sci-fi drama Outcasts: Season One will arrive on Blu-ray from BBC Video and Warner Home Entertainment. As BBC Video explains the premise of the show:
From the makers of the award-winning and international hit series Life on Mars, MI-5, and Hustle comes the new high-concept drama Outcasts. When Earth becomes uninhabitable, a surviving group of pioneers decides to leave for the planet Carpathia to rebuild their lives, and hopefully the human race.
The series takes viewers into a new frontier as it explores survival, sex, politics, and the drive for power in a new post-Earth era. And as the group continue to work and live together, they come to realize that this brave new world harbors a lurking mystery that threatens to topple the fragile peace they built. Created by Ben Richards (MI-5), the series stars Eric Mabius (Ugly Betty, The L Word), Liam Cunningham (Clash of the Titans), and Hermione Norris (MI-5, Wire In The Blood).
The two-disc set includes all eight episodes of the cult British television program's first season. The only confirmed special feature at this time is a "Making Of" documentary.
Outcasts will be available for purchase on August 16th, 2011.
