MTV's fantasy series based on Terry Brooks' epic novels is set to release for DVD on June 7th, 2016.

Set thousands of years in the future, the series follows the adventures of three unlikely heroes: Elf-Human hybrid Wil (Austin Butler, “Arrow”), Elvin Princess Amberle (Poppy Drayton, “Downton Abbey”), and Human Rover Eretria (Ivana Baquero, Pan’s Labryinth), as they embark on a quest to stop an evil Demon army from destroying the world.

Executive produced and written for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar (“Smallville”) and executive produced by Jon Favreau (Iron Man). THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES premiere on MTV was viewed 14.6 million times across linear and digital platforms and delivered the best single-week performance on iTunes ever for an MTV series.

Arriving just in time for Father’s Day and graduation gift-giving, the four-disc DVD set includes all 10 episodes from the inaugural season along with more than 30 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage. THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES Season One DVD set has a suggested retail price of $29.99 U.S./$32.99 Canada.

The special features on the DVD will include:
