Star Trek: Discovery - Season One is a Blu-ray Disc release, featuring the complete first season of Star Trek: Discovery in 1080p high-definition. The four-disc set was released in North America on 13 November 2018, with other national releases beginning on 19 November 2018. The release was issued in a Viva Elite case housed in a slipcover.

A limited edition SteelBook® cover became available at the selected retailers Best Buy, the US/Japanese/German/Italian Amazon, UK retailer Zavvi, [1] and French retailer Fnac.

While in some cases still being marketed as region-restricted, the releases are in actuality region-free as this has increasingly become commonplace for the Blu-ray format. [2]

This release was a year later reissued as an otherwise unaltered part of the Region B-only DIS L'intégrale des saisons 1 & 2 collection, two years later followed as such by the Blu-ray DIS Seasons 1-3 Collection.

Special Features

Special features[]

Remarkably, this release features the same number of special features as its DVD counterpart, constituting something of a break in release policies as the franchise had up to that point in time favored the Blu-ray format with the inclusion of more special features. Quite conceivably this had been an intentional franchise attempt to avoid the 2014 second "VAM controversy" that had followed the home media format releases of the first two alternate reality films.

Background information[]

  • In Australia, a JB Hi-Fi retailer exclusive was released which consisted of the regular plastic snapcase release packaged within a cardboard foldout gate slipcover. [3]
  • This particular release is one of the few individual Star Trek releases followed by the professional industry site The Numbers and for which domestic US home video format sales are known; The Numbers has reported that by November 2021 domestic sales had been realized of US$9.5 million for both this and its DVD counterpart releases. [4] The for a brand-new Star Trek production seemingly disappointing sales could be explained by the sharply divided fan reception the series had engendered. However, there were by this time also generic societal trend issues at play, which had nothing to do with Star Trek, additionally explaining the diminishing sales of physical home video formats.
