The set will include all 15 episodes of the freshman year of Discovery, as well as a number of bonus features centered around the launch of the first Trek television series in nearly 15 years – including interviews with cast and crew, on-set footage from the filming of the episodes, and extended and deleted scenes from Season 1.

The trailer for the home release was also screened for the Las Vegas crowd, which is sure to be online shortly.

We don’t yet have preorder links for this forthcoming Blu-ray (and DVD) release, but soon as they become available we’ll make sure you know about them right away as they’re expected to arrive very soon.

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY: SEASON ONE ARRIVES NOVEMBER 13
WITH OVER TWO HOURS OF EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL FEATURES

Blu-ray And DVD Collections Of Acclaimed CBS All Access Original To Feature Interviews With Cast And Crew, Behind-The-Scenes Footage, and Deleted and Extended Scenes

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (August 6, 2016) – Marking the return of one of the most iconic and influential global television franchises in history, the debut season of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY: SEASON ONE arrives on Blu-ray and DVD November 13 from CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Media Distribution. The four-disc Blu-ray and DVD collections will feature all 15 Season One episodes of the CBS All Access original series, along with a trove of compelling featurettes and other special features.

From VFX to set design, composing the series’ score to make-up and prosthetics, the special features will provide an unprecedented look at the making of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY.

Featurettes include:

DISCOVERING DISCOVERY: THE CONCEPTS AND CASTING OF STAR TREK: DISCOVERY – Interviews with producers, writers and stars of Star Trek: Discovery about casting of the debut season.

THE STAR TREK THEME – A discussion with Executive Producer Alex Kurtzman and Composer Jeff Russo about creating the Discovery theme and score for the show.

CREATURE COMFORTS – A behind-the-scenes look at the makeup and prosthetics department on Star Trek: Discovery, as they both modernize
well-known Star Trek species like the Klingons, Vulcans and the Andorians, and bring to life a new species, the Kelpiens.

DESIGNING DISCOVERY – Insight into the production design department led by Tamara Deverell as they create the planets, the world within those worlds and the starships to travel amongst them.

CREATING SPACE – An exploration of how the VFX team, headed by Jason Zimmerman, pushes the envelope to create the reality of space, planets, and starships for Star Trek: Discovery.

PROP ME UP – Led by Propmaster Mario Moreira, a voyage through the world of Discovery props, providing an inside look at the design process from inception to set.

FEEDING FRENZY – A fascinating look at the on-set food stylist who creates a galaxy of cuisine.

A FEMALE TOUCH – With strong female producers and writers off-screen and powerful female characters on-screen, Discovery exemplifies the groundbreaking inclusionary theme first put forth in the original series.

DRESS FOR SUCCESS – Costume Designer Gersha Phillips and her team create a spectacular array of clothing, uniforms and armor for every kind of species in the galaxy.

STAR TREK DISCOVERY: THE VOYAGE OF SEASON ONE – A look at the adventures and plot twists encountered in the first season by the crew of the Discovery.

In addition, both the STAR TREK: DISCOVERY: SEASON ONE Blu-ray and DVD collections will include deleted and extended scenes.

And finally, Paramount has confirmed that there will indeed be a Blu-ray and DVD disc replacement program for Star Trek: Picard – The Final Season and Star Trek: Picard – The Complete Series. As many of you will know by now—as we reported here at The Bits back on 9/22—the final disc in the set includes the series finale, The Last Generation, with an earlier version of a shot of the Enterprise that was later enhanced. You’ll now be able to request a copy of that disc that will include the enhanced shot, if you wish. Simply use this contact form (click here) on the Paramount website. Choose “Other” for the issue type, fill in your mailing information and the set you have, and tell them which disc in the set you’d like replaced (it’s different depending on whether you have the DVD or Blu-ray version of the set). The fixed discs should be available in November, so they’ll likely be mailed than. And if you purchase Star Trek: The Picard Legacy Collection (which now streets on 11/7, instead of the originally planned 10/17), that set should have the correct discs.
