After what has seemed like much too long a wait, HBO has finally announced the Blu-Ray and DVD release of the first season of Westworld.
However, this isn’t your standard disc release. As reported by Den of Geek via films_at_home, HBO is making history with this release by also including a 4K Ultra HD disc set! This marks the first television show to ever get a 4K release along with standard Blu-Ray and DVD formats, and I must say, I cannot think of a more worthy series to blaze this trail of technological history.
Now, the question remains – when can all this be yours? According to HBO, the Blu-Ray/DVD/4K package will be available beginning November 7, 2017.
The entire disc set will be packaged in a collectible SteelBook case, and will include a premium collectible booklet. In total, there will be 6 discs in the set: 3 devoted to the 4K episodes, 2 for Blu-Ray/DVD-formatted episodes, and a final disc for bonus content.
Speaking of bonus content, TheHD Room reports that the featurettes included in this release, some of which have already appeared in the season’s digital release a few months ago, are comprised of the following:
– Inside Look with Jonah Nolan and Lisa Joy – Season One (New)
– Imagining the Main Title (New)
– The Key to The Chords (New)
– 2017 Comic Con Panel (New)
– Gag Reel (New)
– Welcome to Westworld
– Crafting a Narrative
– An Invitation to The Set
– Welcome to Westworld: About the Series
– Reality of A.I.: Westworld
– “The Big Moment” Featurettes
I don’t know about you, but I will definitely be getting my hands on a copy as soon as it hits stores in the fall!

Amen!! As if the show didn’t already look good enough, it’ll be all the more amazing watching it in 4K.
Also, it looks like it just appeared on Amazon as a pre-order….. 🙂

I wonder what there will be in the way of episode commentaries. There are lots of moments and themes in Season 1 I’d be very interested to hear the showrunners’ and cast’s perspectives on (plus there are quite a few cast members who I can imagine would be very funny and entertaining talking about their characters, scenes etc).
