Powers: The Complete First Season - The series will be available on DVD 10th October 2016 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Set amidst today's celebrity-obsessed culture, Powers asks the question, what if the world was full of superheroes who aren't actually heroic at all?
Powers follows LAPD Powers Division detectives Christian Walker (Copley) and Deena Pilgrim (Heyward) as they investigate homicide cases involving people with superhuman abilities. Walker, once operating as a power until he lost his abilities to the super villain Wolfe (Eddie Izzard), now operates with just a gun and a badge to take down the formidable foes plaguing Los Angeles. The Powers cast also includes Logan Browning (TV's Hit the Floor).
Powers: The Complete First Season will be available on DVD as a three-disc set with all 10 episodes. The DVD will include the featurette Policing the All Powerful: Envisioning and Filming Powers.
What if the world was full of superheroes who aren't actually heroic at all? What if all their powers were just one more excuse for mischief, mayhem, murder, and endorsement deals? Enter the men and women of the Powers Division, the brave people in charge of protecting humans like us and keeping the peace over commercialized, god-like men and women who glide through the sky imposing their power over the mortals who both worship and fear them.
Based on the graphic novel by Michael Avon Oeming and Brian Michael Bendis, the edgy and dramatic Powers follows the lives of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker (Sharlto Copley) and Deena Pilgrim (Susan Heyward), who are assigned to investigate these cases.
