The Bridge Season 2 news and pre order season 1 on blu-ray or DVD!

We are excited to see The Bridge filming is well underway for the long awaited season 2, with five episodes already in the can! First of all, Congratulations are well deserved for everyone involved with the show as it won a Peabody Award, as “this series is a powerful translation for American audiences, spotlighting issues along the border that are rarely seen on mainstream U.S. television, raising awareness of border issues while creating a compelling murder mystery.”

We look forward to hearing more about MATCH as hopefully it will go to other festivals around the world. Paste Magazine had this great mini review as Michael Dunaway rounded up his Tribeca capsule reviews.

The best film I saw at Tribeca this year. The perpetually underrated Matthew Lillard has never been better; he’s alternately inexcusable and irresistible. And Patrick Stewart turns in one of the finest performances of a fine career as well. It still feels a bit like a play on film at times, but if that doesn’t bother you (and why should it?), you’ll be rewarded with a great night.
