News Season 1 DVD/Blu-Ray Release
- Thread starter The Wormhole
- Start date
It's all unknown..
IIRC, someone in one of the other threads mentioned American Amazon has a listing for the second half of season 1 on physical media with a release date of September 12. Though that hasn't been reported anywhere else, nor are there listings on the Amazons of other countries, so, yeah. Best I can say is "maybe."
Although other sources are indicating we shouldn't expect any further physical releases until after the show has been picked up by someone else. If the show isn't picked up by anyone else, then no merchandise, including DVDs/Blu-rays can be legally released or Paramount's "tax write-off" becomes null and void.

Decided to import the US blu-ray (which has been reported as being region-free in multiple places), as the chances of the blu-ray ever coming out in Europe are quite slim at this time.
Seems to be selling quite well on Amazon at the moment. Presently #92 in the best selling list for the Blu-rays, just behind Picard S3 in #91 and ahead of Dune in #94.

If they don't bury the series for the sake of the tax write-off. I hope it will be saved, but it's not a sure thing.
They might just bury season 2.
A listing with the same September 12 date is now up on Amazon Canada.

I don't generally like to pre-order things, but I put a pre-order in for this, in case it helps show demand to Paramount, or something. Amazon doesn't charge your card till it ships, so if it ends up getting cancelled, I shouldn't be out any money.
Aaron Waltke is confirming the Blu-ray release of the the second half of season 1 on Twitter.
That's a good sign. This should mean more income and thus less benefit from a potential tax write off.
Target in the US has preorders up now with the date listed as September 26.
Be curious to see if those sell out.
Here is the article with some information on the Blu-Ray / DVD release of episodes 11-20.

“Back here in North America, CBS and Paramount have set Star Trek: Prodigy – Season 1, Volume 2 (Episodes 11-20) for release on Blu-ray and DVD on 9/26.”

He was. That tweet has since been deleted.
I still have faith that the September 26th release date is correct.
And now Aaron Waltke is tweeting that he was mistaken in the earlier tweet.
Just from the phrasing, it sounds more like the mistake was jumping the gun on the announcement and not waiting for Paramount to issue the official press release, rather than the information itself being incorrect.
But I guess we'll see when the official announcement comes.
My guess is the official announcement will occur at the same time as COMICON since Paramount still plans on attending even though other studios have cancelled their attendance because of the writers strike.
I wouldn't be surprised the announcement for the Prodigy 11-20 boxset will be low-key and Paramount hoping everyone will be paying attention to news about SNW and Lower Decks.
