Game of Thrones: The Complete Fifth Season is coming to Blu-ray and DVD on March 15, a little under a month ahead of the Season 6 premiere, and thanks to a sneak peek provided exclusively to Digital Spy, we get to look at an epic new trailer for the Season 5 boxset.
The score to the trailer is provided by Jordan Max, who recently debuted his single “Hell,” which you can listen to on Soundcloud. I’ve always thought the showrunners have chosen excellent artists to lay down tracks for each season’s trailer.
If you’re going with the Blu-ray, it’s going to set you back $79.98, and if you’re going the DVD route, it will cost you a bit less at $59.99. As we told you a few days ago, there are several neat features to be had with both Blu-Ray and DVD version:
- Anatomy of an Episode: Mother’s Mercy—From the early stages of the writer’s room to the final visual effects, see what went into creating “Mother’s Mercy,” the Emmy-winning episode fans will be talking about for years to come.
- The Real History Behind Game of Thrones—Watch historians, along with George R.R. Martin, explore the interweaving inspirations of the actual players in the era known as “The Wars of the Roses” and other historical events in this two-part series.
- Audio Commentaries – Twelve audio commentaries with cast and crew including David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Kit Harington, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Iain Glen, Maisie Williams, Natalie Dormer, Gwendoline Christie and more.
- Deleted Scenes – 4 deleted scenes
The Blu-Ray only version special bonuses include:
- The Dance of Dragons—Hear the story of the Greens and the Blacks, the Targaryen civil war that led to the downfall of the dragons, featuring surprise narration from notable characters from past seasons.
- In-Episode Guide—Dig deeper into the show with this in-feature resource that provides background information about on-screen characters, locations, and relevant histories.
- Histories and Lore—Learn about the mythology of Westeros and Essos as told from the varying perspectives of the characters themselves in 14 history pieces. Select Histories feature illustrations from the show’s storyboard artist, Will Simpson.
Again, the boxset is set to be released on March 15, and Game of Thrones Season 6 is set to premiere on Sunday, April 24.
