Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady's documentary will arrive on Blu-ray later this month.

In an early announcement to retailers, PBS is preparing 'Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You' for Blu-ray on October 25.

With unprecedented access to Lear, his work and his massive personal archives, 'NORMAN LEAR: JUST ANOTHER VERSION OF YOU' combines stories from his turbulent childhood and early career with his groundbreaking TV success (All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Good Times, Maude) and social activism. The documentary also features colorful stories from Lear’s family, friends and collaborators, including John Amos, George Clooney, Alan Horn, Bill Moyers, Rob Reiner, Phil Rosenthal and Russell Simmons, as well as cinéma vérité moments with Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Jon Stewart, Amy Poehler and Lena Dunham. 

Specs have not been detailed yet, but supplements will include: What do a 92 year old Jew and the world of hip hop have in #Common?; Mary Hartman Breakdown; Mary Hartman Casting; Not Dead Yet; Bill Moyers on Norman Lear; and The Shrink and Syndication.

Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $29.99.
