Discovery DVD/Blu Ray Release?

[borgboy]

Is there any word yet on a DVD/Blu Ray release for Discovery Season 1?

I don't think there has been one peep uttered on the subject.

I'm assuming they might not do this until further down the road. If they think the exclusivity of availability in the US will continue to drive CBSAA subscriptions, they might not do it for quite some time.

If they follow the Netflix model then it would be released when season 2 premiers.

Not just netflix but most premium services including HBO.

So I agree. 1-2 months before start of season 2 will be when they release.

Would love to see some behind the scenes stuff - design work, story development etc.

Usually not in initial release. You would have to wait for 10-year anniversary special or something like that.

Ah that’s a shame. The BtS stuff on the TNG and DS9 dvd box sets are some of my favourite additional material (especially the “trials and tribbleations” extras!)

Or at least 12-18 months later in the "special edition" set.

This is supposed to be CBS's prestige product, so it seems like there should be a few extras of some kind, even if it's just some basic marketing fluff. See other recent shows like "Riverdale" and "Westworld," for example.

It will probably be before season two airs, so later this year.

I expect one way or the other it will be out this year. If season 2 starts airing this year it will come out 1-2 months before. If season 2 is delayed until 2019 I'd still expect a November type release for holiday sales.

Wish there was. Wish it was coming out in 4K too.

It better be 4K, otherwise what’s the point. Anyone can rewatch 1080p at anytime online.

For the first time, there will be a Trek video release I have no interest in. Already paid CBS enough to watch it streaming.

I like BBC's model better. DVD's & BD's come out like 2 weeks after the finale.

Hell, DW has done that split season thing on disc if you realllllly can't wait for a full season set.

I remember the previous season of DEXTER always came out right before the new season debuted.

I remember the previous season of DEXTER always came out right before the new season debuted.

Is that a case of 12 eps, then a break, then like 12 more eps? Or is it the older model with all (however many) eps in a row, then a long break?

I really don't know how a lot of TV shows work anymore. Most of what I watch are 15 episodes tops. Some have breaks, some don't.

Was it shot in 4k? What about the FX, was it rendered in 4k?

The way BBC gets paid is also vastly different too. We would never support their payment model here in the US.

I don’t think either was ever confirmed. But if they are not shooting it in either 4k or 8k in the year 2018 that would be laughebly sad. :/
