This release was the second 4K UDH home video release of a Star Trek television series. As with the first season release however, it was the UK that scored the scoop by releasing the format first on 4 December 2023. North America followed suit a day later. Unlike the UK though, where the release was issued in a standard three-disc holding plastic snapcase within a cardboard slipover cover, it was decided in North America to release the production in the limited SteelBook® edition first, before releasing a regular edition later on, a release format carried over from the previous 4K UHD release.

==Background information==
*Because Strange New Worlds was already produced to standards by using the new 4K+ ultra high resolution ARRI Alexa cameras, meant that a relatively costly remastering was not necessary to have a home video format released in the 4K UHD format. This also entailed that the special features, in Kurtzman-era Star Trek recorded simultaneously with the main live-action production in the same resolution standards, had the side-effect that all special features were featured on the 4K UHD discs themselves, without having to resort of having them included in the set on separate Blu-ray Discs, contrary to the older 4K UHD releases of the . The disc contents therefore are identical to those of its Blu-ray counterpart.
*No audio commentaries were included on this release contrary to the first season release, because none were recorded due to the as organized by the Screen Actors Guild.
*In Germany, a separate regular release was previously not contemplated for the first season 4K UHD release, but was this time around decided upon after all for the second season. This was undoubtedly motivated by the desire to increase availability in continental Europe of the 4K UHD production.
*As is increasingly becoming commonplace, no Blu-ray disc versions are included in the set, contrary to the older 4K UHD film releases.
