All 110 Original Episodes Fully Remastered!

Available on Blu-Ray™ For the First Time Ever
on December 5, 2023




BURBANK, CA (July 18, 2023) – In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment is releasing the groundbreaking original sci-fi TV series Babylon 5 on Blu-ray for the first time ever! On December 5, just in time for holiday gift giving, Babylon 5: The Complete Series will be available at online retailers with all 110 original episodes fully remastered in HD. The highly anticipated release is one fans don’t want to miss!

Babylon 5 is an American space opera television series created by writer and producer J. Michael Straczynski that ran for five seasons from 1994–1998. The critically acclaimed franchise debuted in 1993 with the pilot film The Gathering. The series then launched a year later and ran for five seasons and 110 additional episodes. A future-history story covering the years 2257–2262, with each year corresponding to one season, Babylon 5 was the first series to introduce viewers to the concept of a five-year arc, with a defined beginning, middle, and end, paving the way for a number of such later series.

The beloved award-winning series starred Bruce Boxleitner, Michael O’Hare, Claudia Christian, Jerry Doyle, Mira Furlan, Andreas Katsulas, Peter Jurasik, Richard Biggs, Andrea Thompson, Stephen Furst, Bill Mumy, Tracy Scoggins, Jason Carter, Robert Rusler, Jeff Conaway, Patricia Tallman and Mary Kay Adams.

I never really got into this series for some reason. Maybe, I need to revisit it and give it a try again..

My favorite Sci-Fi show. I first watched it as it aired forever ago. At the time the CGI was groundbreaking for television and it was the first series I ever saw with a story arc for the entire series. Great plot and characters. My original viewing was on a giant 25” TV.

Now I will enthusiastically pay the asking price if in the re-mastering they were able to add some pixels for a convincing 1080p experience and to add a boatload of detail to the CGI. The DVD box set and streamed, just don provide a good experience on today’s screen sizes.

Don’t you have a harsher punishment to mete out? What about requiring a 24 hr Waterworld marathon as penance?

hmmm.that's a little too easy. 48 hour on repeat of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law season 1

Wait, were you trying to dig a deeper hole? ;):)

If this remaster is good then there’s probably a lot of folks that haven’t seen it who will now get the chance to enjoy it.

Popped it in the player ‘cause I couldn’t stand the suspense. It is light years (pun intended :hide: ) ahead of the DVD set which was pretty much unwatchable on the 92” screen. The cgi motion and resolution are now quite good although dated compared to the level of detail we get today.
The short bit of costume detail and makeup I saw was excellent. Delenn, Garibaldi, and G’Kar looked, dare I say, realistic.

This is going to be a great watch!
