The latest breakout comedy series from HBO® - Girls ® - debuts on home entertainment this winter, just in time for holiday gift giving and a few weeks before the premiere of season two.

Girls was nominated for five 2012 Emmy® Awards: Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress (Dunham), Outstanding Directing (Dunham), Outstanding Writing (Dunham) and Outstanding Casting. Hailed as "brilliant...perfect" (People Magazine) and "a revelation...hilarious" (New York Magazine), the series follows the lives of four twenty something's - Hannah, Marnie, Jessa and Shoshanna - who are trying to figure life out. They've been living in New York for a couple of years, but they're still not sure what they want - from boys, from each other, from themselves. And things aren't getting any clearer. The answers aren't always easy, but the search is profoundly relatable and infinitely amusing.

Chris Lilley, Australia's critically acclaimed comedian/actor/writer, is at it again! Recipient of an American Film Institute Award for Best Comedy Series and Best Performance in a Television Comedy for his earlier HBO® comedy series, Summer Heights High, Lilley amps up his acutely-observed, character-based comedy stylings in two outrageously funny and edgy series - Angry Boys and We Can Be Heroes. The taboo-crossing series are hilariously unconventional, impetuous and filled with endearing characters that will make comedy fans laugh and cringe at the same time. Full of entertaining bonus content, Angry Boys on Blu-ray ($39.98), DVD ($29.98) and Digital Download, along with We Can Be Heroes on DVD ($29.98) and Digital Download, will arrive in stores on December 4, 2012, just in time for holiday gift-giving.
In Angry Boys, Lilley uses his chameleon-like talents to play multiple roles in a mock-documentary look at the lives of average boys and men, displaying their day-to-day interactions and struggles to fulfill their obligations to family and friends. Loaded with over six hours of bonus features, Angry Boys on Blu-ray and DVD and includes an S.mouse concert and music videos, deleted scenes and bloopers.
The groundbreaking mockumentary We Can Be Heroes, which made its U.S. debut on HBO on Demand® and HBO GO®, follows the daily lives of five very special individuals who are among the thousands of citizens vying for the prestigious title of "Australian of the Year." As portrayed by Lilley, the five nominees are from different parts of the country and represent the full spectrum of the country's society. We Can Be Heroes on DVD has over two hours of extra content including deleted scenes, outtakes, a behind-the scenes featurette and "Ricky at the Logies" feature.
