HBO has officially announced and detailed the Blu-ray release of Boardwalk Empire: The Complete Third Season. One of HBO's signature shows, the series chronicles the life and times of Atlantic County treasurer Enoch "Nucky" Thompson (Steve Buscemi), at a time when Prohibition was becoming a major catalyst in the rise of organized crime in America. The third season of the critically acclaimed series streets on August 20th.

Synopsis: Picking up sixteen months after the Season Two finale Season Three begins on New Year's Eve, 1922, with 1923 mere hours away. The Roaring '20s are about to start. Though the economy is booming, alcohol has become scarce, competition is fierce, and gangster violence is heating up. Amidst this backdrop, Nucky, whose marriage to Margaret (Kelly Macdonald) has become a sham after she signed away his highway windfall to the church, faces new competition in the person of Gyp Rosetti (new cast member Bobby Cannavale), who builds a new strategic bulkhead between New York and Atlantic City in an effort to siphon off Nucky's alcohol business. The conflict brings out the best and worst in Nucky, who proves his brutal mettle in a series of violent encounters. New and familiar faces also undergo compelling metamorphoses as the latest 12-episode season unfolds.
