Teleportation. Mind control. Invisibility. Astral projection. Mutation. Reanimation. Phenomena that exist on the Fringe of science unleash their strange powers in this thrilling series, co-created by J.J. Abrams (Lost, Alias), combining the grit of the police procedural with the excitement of the unknown.
The story revolves around three unlikely colleagues -- a beautiful young FBI agent, Agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Tory), a brilliant scientist, Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble), who has spent the last 17 years in a mental institution, and the scientist’s sardonic son, Peter (Joshua Jackson) -- who investigate a series of bizarre deaths and disasters known as "The Pattern."
Someone is using our world as an experimental lab, and all clues lead to Massive Dynamic, a shadowy global corporation that may be more powerful than any nation.
Special Features:
- "Evolution: The Genesis of Fringe" featurette - The creators of the show discuss how the series unfolded and the qualities that make it so unique.
- "Behind the Real Science of Fringe" featurette - From teleportation to re-animation, Fringe incorporates recent discoveries in science. Consulting experts and scientists who are the authorities in their field address the areas of science which are the inspiration for the show.
- "A Massive Undertaking: The Making of Fringe" (on select episodes) - An in-depth exploration of how select episodes came to be made: from the frozen far reaches of shooting the pilot in Toronto, to the weekly challenges of bringing episodes to air
- "The Casting of Fringe" - The story, as told by producers and cast, of how Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble and others came to be cast in the series.
- "Fringe Visual Effects" featurette - Goes deep into the creation of the shared dream state with some of the biggest VFX shots of the show.

- Unusual Side Effects: Gag Reel
