The Newsroom: Complete Third Season to Arrive on DVD/BD

Every story needs a final word, and this summer, Atlantic Cable News anchor Will McAvoy will give his final newscast when the third and last season of the highly addictive, award-winning HBO series The Newsroom makes its home entertainment debut. Starring Emmy Award winner Jeff Daniels (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series) and created by Aaron Sorkin (Academy Award winner for writing The Social Network, creator of the multiple Emmy winner The West Wing), The Newsroom follows a popular cable news anchor (Daniels) and his staff in their fervent attempt to report the news honestly and fairly amidst corporate mandates and complicated personal relationships. The Newsroom: The Complete Third Season will be available on Blu-ray with Digital HD ($49.99) and DVD ($39.98) June 16, 2015, giving avid fans of the series a chance to complete their collections.

 The third and final season of The Newsroom finds Will, Mac (Emily Mortimer) and the staff of "News Night" facing two explosive situations: the possibility of a hostile takeover of the network, and leaked classified government documents that unleash a legal fire storm threatening to topple more than one professional career. Going beyond the headlines, the six-part season turns its attention inward, focusing on a series of internal events at ACN that rock the very foundation of the network, and tackles such topics as privacy issues, the influence of social media on traditional news gathering and corporate takeover. The men and women of "News Night" are faced with personal and professional dilemmas that will forever determine their futures. Set against the backdrop of the Boston Marathon bombing, The Newsroom kicks off the season with a highly charged look at the core issue of maintaining journalistic integrity in the era of 24-hour news cycles, while crowd-sourcing and "citizen journalism" result in the dissemination of misinformation.

The all-star cast of The Newsroom is headlined by Emmy Award winner Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer. Also starring are Academy Award nominee Sam Waterston; Tony Award Winner John Gallagher, Jr.; Alison Pill; Thomas Sadoski ; Dev Patel; and Olivia Munn. Returning guest stars include two-time Academy Award winner Jane Fonda, who won the 2013 Emmy Award for her role, Chris Messina, David Harbour and Marcia Gay Harden.
