The Wire Season 5 hits DVD August 12

According to TV Shows on DVD, the final season of HBO’s hit series The Wire will hit stores on August 12. Sheeeeeeet. Though that seems like a lifetime from now, I’m only just finishing Season 4 and am admittedly in a much better position than other non-HBO subscribers, who -without an iTunes option- have been without new episodes since early December.

Below are the fun extras we can look forward to:

• The Wire Odyssey – A Retrospective of the First Four Seasons
• The Wire: The Last Word – A Documentary Exploring the Role of the Media
• 6 Audio Commentaries – With Creator David Simon, Cast and Crew
