SCIENCE CHANNEL INVITES VIEWERS INTO THE WORLD OF FRINGE
WITH A SPECIAL TWO-DAY MARATHON OF SEASON THREE THIS WEEKEND
--Day Long Marathons Featuring All 22 Episodes of Season Three Begin at 9
AM ET/PT on
Saturday, April 13 and Sunday, April 14--
The thought-provoking, critically-acclaimed series FRINGE returns to
Science Channel this weekend in a special two-day long marathon. Science
Channel will air the first 11 episodes of season three on Saturday, April
13 from 9 AM to 8 PM ET/PT, and the final 11 episodes of season three on
Sunday, April 14 from 9 AM to 8 PM ET/PT.
FRINGE on Science Channel features leading experts such as Dr. Michio Kaku
examining phenomena such as time travel, dream sharing and parallel
universes with the short-form series, "Science of Fringe".
In season three the FRINGE team escapes from the parallel universe -
except for Olivia who is trapped in the other world and replaced in ours
by her double. It's her double who turns Peter and Olivia's tentative
relationship into a love affair. When Olivia returns the bonds of trust
fray while ever more bizarre and terrifying phenomena occur, and secrets
that stretch back to 1985 threaten to destroy our universe or the parallel
universe.
FRINGE explores the ever-blurring line between scientific concepts and
reality, where hybrid beings tear through sewers, thieves walk through
walls and portals open to parallel universes. Unable to police a world in
which science has advanced beyond our wildest dreams-and nightmares-Olivia
Dunham (series star Anna Torv) seeks help from Dr. Walter Bishop (John
Noble) and his jack-of-all-trades son, Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson).
Under the direction of Special Agent Phillip Broyles (Lance Reddick) and
assisted by Agents Astrid Farnsworth (Jasika Nicole), Charlie Francis
(Kirk Acevedo) and Lincoln Lee (Seth Gabel), the Fringe Team investigates
unusual incidents that defy human logic and unimaginable events that
threaten our very existence on a universal scale.

Season Five picks up from events depicted in Season Four’s flash-forward episode
“Letters in Transit,” wherein the once seemingly peaceful Observers have seized
control of our universe. Now, in 2036, they have become ruthless rulers who
stand unopposed, and the Fringe Team is forced to take their final stand. The
remaining Fringe team — comprised of Fringe scientist Water Bishop, Walter’s
son, Peter, and FBI agents Olivia Dunham and Astrid Farnsworth — – is joined by
Olivia and Peter’s now-grown daughter, Etta, in a final season filled with
struggle, surprises and sacrifice. The team must bring together all they have
witnessed in preparation for the final battle to save their world.
Fringe executive producer/showrunner J.H. Wyman said: “We’re extremely excited
that the fifth and final season of Fringe will be out very soon this coming
spring. From our cast and crew, to all of our friends in the press and

sad to see this iconic show come to an end, we are excited to make the Fifth
Season and the Complete Set available on DVD and Blu-ray, so the show’s loyal

TCA 2012: 'Fringe' Panelists Sound Off on Final
Season Expectations
Fringe went back to its roots for the final
session at the Television Critics Association
summer press tour.
The session began with a special taped video
message from co-creator and executive producer
J.J. Abrams, who penned multiple episodes during
the first two seasons of the cult Fox drama,
thanking critics and fans for supporting the
series -- an act that would continue on
throughout the 45-minute session.
“We can have parties with every single fan in
attendance,” Abrams joked of Fringe's small
audience before reassuring the room that it
would be the best season yet.
The genesis of season four’s pivotal 19th
episode, which is set in 2036 and served as
backdoor pilot – for lack of a better word –
according to showrunner J.H. Wyman, who is
without usual partner-in-crime Jeff Pinkner, was
also explained. (Pinkner exited before the final
season began.) “We tried out 19 [to see] how
people engaged with it,” he said, adding that he
and some of the producers “wanted a concept.”
Traditionally on the show, episode 19 has been
used for episodes “off the beaten path.”
During the course of the series run, Wyman
confessed that “there probably have been three
or four endings” that were being toyed with.
“The show has a natural ending. It’s something
that we know is right. How that takes shape is
always in flux,” Wyman said.
For the actors, just three days into production
on season five as Joshua Jackson admitted, it’ll
take some time for the finality of it all to
sink in: “I don’t think we’re quite there yet.”
“We are a little cult show with a cult following
that you’re able to do it right,” Anna Torv said
to the roomful of reporters. “Knock it out of
the park, that’s the gift Fox gave us,” Jackson
said.
A question that has become a regular for Fringe
is that of Emmys’ omission for John Noble, who
plays the socially awkward scientist Walter and
was not present at the panel.
“We feel like probably a lot of you guys,” Wyman
confessed when asked about the lack of
mainstream notoriety for Noble. “I’m sitting in
the editing room going, ‘Wow.’ I don’t
understand. If it’s the issue of it being a
science-fiction show, I don’t know.”
But he remained positive that one day,
recognition would be given. “I’m trying to
believe that the cream will always rise to the
top... Hopefully somebody somewhere will realize
what this man is doing,” he said.
Fringe premieres Sept. 28 at 9 p.m. on Fox.

answers. Asked for just two words about season

AS WARNER HOME VIDEO RELEASES
FRINGE: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON
ON BLU-RAY(tm) AND DVD ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2011
"Fringe continues its hot streak known as Season 3. ... It's been firing
on
all cylinders all season." - Andrew Hanson, LATimes.com
BURBANK, CA (June 28, 2011) - The mystery of the universe(s) deepens and
two worlds collide with the release of Fringe: The Complete Third Season
from Warner Home Video (WHV). The critically acclaimed third season of
television's most thrilling sci-fi series features 22 mind-bending
episodes with over three hours of brand new special features, including a
Blu-rayTM exclusive featurette and free download offer for an HD digital
copy of all 22 episodes. Recently renewed for a fourth season on FOX,
Fringe (Fridays 9/8c) continues to be a solid hit among fans and critics.
Fringe: The Complete Third Season comes to DVD and Blu-rayTM for the first
time September 6, 2011 for $59.98 / $69.97 SRP.
Immersive. Compelling. Hypnotic. Brilliantly imaginative. Endlessly
thrilling. Pick your term. The Fringe team escapes from the parallel
universe - except for Olivia, trapped in the other world and replaced in
ours by her double, who turns Peter and Olivia's tentative relationship
into a love affair. Then Olivia returns, bonds of trust fray, ever more
bizarre and terrifying phenomena occur, and secrets that stretch back to
1985 threaten to destroy our universe. Or theirs.
"Following the series' recent renewal for a fourth season, Warner Home
Video is thrilled to release Fringe: The Complete Third Season on DVD and
Blu-rayTM " said Rosemary Markson, WHV Vice President, TV and Special
Interest Marketing. "This year, in addition to two and a half hours of
never-before-seen special features, our Blu-rayTM release will feature
exclusive content, including 45-minutes of maximum episode mode content on
"Glimmer to the Other Side" and a free HD digital copy offer for all 22

greening efforts, FOX has revamped and re-launched

* Joshua Jackson – “More than 1 trillion gallons of untreated sewage,
storm water and industrial waste end up in U.S. waters ever year. Take a
stand and ask your local government to enforce environmental protection
laws.” FOX’s Earth Week initiatives are only a small part of FOX’s ongoing “Green
It. Mean It.” campaign. For the past six years, FOX has hosted the FOX
Fall Eco-Casino party, a benefit for various eco-friendly charities,
including The Nature Conservancy, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los
Angeles, Global Green USA, among others. Last year, FOX donated two solar
panels, previously used on the AMERICAN IDOL finale red carpet, to schools
in Los Angeles and New York. This spring, FOX will donate the solar panel
from its most recent Emmy Awards red carpet to an additional school. In
addition, the Environmental Media Award-winning TEEN CHOICE AWARDS
annually implements numerous “green” initiatives, including the use of
solar and natural gas power, a Woolly Pocket vertical garden as a
step-and-repeat and, in a red carpet first, cyclists generating power to
cool talent and the media.
