A heads up:
On December 8th CBS Home Video announced a release date of March 3, 2026 for DVD, Blu Ray and 4K editions of Strange New Worlds Season 3. Yaay! That said, for at least a month now listings on Ebay and Amazon show DVD and Blu Ray copies of SNW season 3 already available for purchased. Against better judgement I purchased one from an Ebay listing. Having received the item I am pretty sure these are bootleg discs. The menus are low quality and have the options "Play All", "Episodes" and "Resume Film". The menu backgrounds-taken directly from the Season 3 poster are noticeably low quality. Also the set labels (case and disc labels) do not list the episode names. The labels on the 3 discs are the same as the case label (the poster), instead of the standard grey and silver labels on other CBS DVD releases. The back of the DVD case label shows a very generic blurb about the series that has nothing specific to do with season 3, and is in fact taken verbatim from the Strange New Worlds Season 3 Wikipedia article. The UPC number and barcode are bogus, any searches I have done on the UPC number have come up empty. When played, the discs immediately start with the menu, not the CBS DVD logo and copyright notice as is standard with official CBS DVD releases.
My advice: unless you are really desperate for the episodes on DVD, avoid this set and wait for the real thing to release in March.
