‘World on Fire’ Season 1 is now available on DVD!

The first season of World on Fire is released on DVD in the US next week.

From the makers of Poldark, the BBC’s hit new period drama series launched in the UK last autumn to positive reviews.

Opening with the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 and ending with the Battle of Britain in 1940, the seven one-hour episodes take viewers across the first year of World War II, from ordinary life in Manchester to the beaches of Dunkirk.

World on Fire began in the US earlier this month, showing on PBS Masterpiece on Sunday nights, and the Season 1 finale will air on 17th May.

However, fans can watch the remaining episodes early as the complete first season will be available to buy on DVD from 21st April and you can pre-order the DVD on Amazon now!

Watch the trailer:

 

The all-star cast includes Oscar-winner Helen Hunt (As Good As It Gets), Sharpe star Sean Bean, Lesley Manville (MumRiver), Blake Harrison (A Very English Scandal), poet and actor Yrsa Daley-Ward (Today Will Burn), Ansu Kabia (The Long Song) and Ewan Mitchell (The Last Kingdom), Jonah Hauer-King (Little Women), Julia Brown (The Last Kingdom) and Tomasz Kot (Cold War).

There was brilliant news for World on Fire fans last November when the BBC revealed they’d already renewed the show for another season!

Season 2 is expected to span the years 1940 to 1941.

World on Fire is available on DVD on Amazon.
