Farscape coming to DVD

I never really got into Farscape, but I hear there's quite the following for the property. Those that have followed it though know that this November will be the 10th anniversary of the show. And nothing commemorates ten years better than a Megaset. In November A&E will be releasing The Complete Series: Megaset. All four seasons will be on the DVD set as well as multiple commentaries, cast/crew interviews and behind-the-scenes featurettes. You can also pick up a single season if you're not into the entire set. Not only that, but the set will be announced at Comic Con at a Farscape panel featuring executive producer Brian Henson, creator Rockne O’Bannon, and stars Ben Browder and Claudia Black. Full press release after the jump.
