HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (July 21, 2009) - Experience one of the greatest action-adventure sagas like never before when the thrilling second season of STAR TREK®: THE ORIGINAL SERIES blasts onto Blu-ray disc September 22 from CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment.

Starring one of the most endearing casts in television history - led by William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan and Nichelle Nichols - STAR TREK® is a worldwide phenomenon and served as a launching pad for numerous television series and feature films, including this year's J.J. Abrams-directed mega-blockbuster.

STAR TREK®: THE ORIGINAL SERIES features Seamless Branching technology that allows fans to toggle between the newly-enhanced and original special effects. In addition, the series is presented in 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, the best sound format possible, with the option to select mono as heard on the series' original television airings.

Beyond the Tribble-specific bonus disc, this set also includes "Starfleet Access" content on select episodes which provides fans with special pop-up trivia and picture-in-picture video commentaries, rare on-set home movie footage and new special features on BD Live.  Also, every disc is Mobile BluTM enabled.  Once downloaded, Mobile BluTM allows Trekkies to turn their iPhones into Blu-ray player remote controls and download exclusive featurettes for on-the-go entertainment.  The definitive release that fans have been waiting for, STAR TREK®: THE ORIGINAL SERIES SEASON TWO BLU-RAY  will be available for the suggested retail price of $118.99 US and $136.99 CAN. Exclusive Star Trek Monopoly cards will also be included in early shipments of the Blu-ray set, while supplies last.
