Defending Jacob, the Apple TV+ character-driven thriller starring Chris Evans and Michelle Dockery, hits DVD with exclusive bonus content.
When the series made its premiere in April 2020 amid a mostly nationwide lockdown, it became the most watched series premiere for the streamer. After all, this series stars Captain America himself! Plus, you also had people staying home with nowhere they could really go. Even though Chris Evans, Michelle Dockery, and Jaeden Martell were praised for their performances, they didn’t get any Emmy nominations. The series picked up two nominations: Outstanding Cinematography for a Limited Series or Movie and Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music. This really speaks to just how much content exists out there.
While Apple TV+ may offer the better picture for the eight episodes, the three-disc DVD set also offers exclusive bonus content that you cannot get anywhere else. As a side note, the hit limited series will be also available on Blu-ray through manufacturing-on-demand.
Series creator Mark Bomback adapts the series from the novel written by William Landay.
Synopsis
The limited drama series unfolds around a shocking crime that rocks a small Massachusetts town and one family in particular, forcing an assistant district attorney, Andrew “Andy” Barber (Chris Evans), to choose between his sworn duty to uphold justice and his unconditional love for his son, Jacob (Jaeden Martell).
