SNW Season 1 4K Ultra HD

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season One is a three-disc 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release featuring the complete first season of . 
A debut, this release was the very first 4K UDH home video release of a Star Trek television series. It was the UK however, that scored the scoop by releasing the format first on 14 May 2023. North America followed suit two days 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. Undoubtedly, this was done to celebrate the occasion of the premiere of televised Star Trek on the new home video format.

In similar vein, Germany only saw a SteelBook edition release, whereas a separate regular release was not contemplated. This was not much of an issue as the 4K UHD format was region-free with uniform contents for all territories, meaning that any import would do in Germany – or in the other European territories for that matter.

==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 incidentally has also resulted in another first for the franchise as well. Because special features are in Kurtzman-era Star Trek recorded simultaneously with the main live-action production in the same resolution standards, had the side-effect that this release became the first one to have all special features included on the 4K UHD discs as well, without having to resort of having them included in the set on separate Blu-ray Discs. The disc contents therefore are identical to those of its Blu-ray counterpart, with one exception; disc three does not include the bonus episode included on the DVD and Blu-ray counterparts, as it would have meant an expensive remastering of that episode for this release, an effort not deemed worthwhile on this occasion.
*As is increasingly becoming commonplace, no Blu-ray disc versions are included in the set, contrary to the older 4K UHD film releases.
*The franchise had intimated that future Star Trek television season 4K UHD releases, had been reliant on how well this release was going to do in sales.
