Boardwalk Empire: The Complete Second Season Blu-ray

In August, HBO Home Entertainment will bring Boardwalk Empire: The Complete Second Season to Blu-ray. The critically acclaimed and Emmy Award-winning series stars Steve Buscemi (Fargo) as Nucky Thompson, the real-life figure who ruled Prohibition-era Atlantic City's criminal and political underworld.

From HBO's official synopsis:

"In a city whose fortunes have soared in the wake of Prohibition, Nucky Thompson is paying a steep price for wielding ultimate power in "the world's playground." Though the 1920 election is over, Nucky finds himself the target of a federal investigation for vote tampering - and an insurrection by those he counted among his closest allies."

In addition to Buscemi, Boardwalk Empire features an impressive supporting cast that includes Michael Shannon (Take Shelter), Michael Pitt (Boardwalk Empire: The Complete First Season), Kelly Macdonald (Trainspotting), Michael Stuhlbarg (A Serious Man), Shea Whigham (The Lincoln Lawyer), Stephen Graham (Gangs of New York), Gretchen Mol (Rounders), Dabney Coleman (Domino), and Michael Kenneth Williams (Life During Wartime).

HBO's seven-disc Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet Digital Copy combo pack presents all twelve Season One episodes in their original broadcast aspect ratio of 1.78:1 with 5.1 DTS HD-Master Audio 5.1 audio tracks.

The collection also includes a number of bonus features, such as:
