Coming on July 14th, Lionsgate is proud to announce the DVD and Blu-ray Disc release of MAD MEN: SEASON TWO!

The second season of “Mad Men,” the groundbreaking series from AMC that critics are calling one of “TV’s best-ever dramas” (Boston Globe), will be available on DVD and Blu-ray Disc from Lionsgate.  From Matthew Weiner, the Emmy® award-winning executive producer and writer of “The Sopranos,” “Mad Men” is the ground-breaking series about the glamorous and ego-driven “Golden Age” of advertising, where everyone is selling something and nothing is ever what it seems.  In its second season, “Mad Men” continues to blur the lines between truth and lies, perception and reality. The world of Mad Men is moving in a new direction — can Sterling Cooper keep up?  Meanwhile, the private life of Don Draper becomes complicated in a new way.  What is the cost of his secret identity?

Timed to coincide with the show’s third season premiere on AMC and a soundtrack release this summer, MAD MEN: SEASON TWO contains all 13 episodes of the second season and is loaded with special features including extensive commentaries and innovative featurettes.  The featurettes reveal a look at the rise of women in the work place, the influence of 1960’s fashion, and the historical events that defined the era.  The MAD MEN: SEASON TWO DVD will be packaged in a limited edition sleek shirt box with a see-thru window.

Since its debut in the summer of 2007, “Mad Men” has garnered enormous critical acclaim and has become the critics’ darling and a pop culture phenomenon.  Winner of 3 Golden Globes and 6 Emmy’s, The Wall Street Journal praised it as, “one of the best-written, all-around sparkling works to come along.” TV Guide proclaimed it, “sleek, sexy, smartly cynical…9 out of 10” and Newsweek hailed, “Mad Men is…must see TV.”
