The first season of the CBS All Access series Star Trek: Picard has been dated for Blu-ray and DVD release on October 6, 2020. We will not be getting a 4k Blu-ray edition any time soon, unfortunately, but this was also true of Season One and Season Two of CBS’s Star Trek: Discovery. Oh, how the episodes would look in 4k with HDR!
The Blu-ray and DVD releases of Star Trek: Picard will, however, give Star Trek fans who don’t subscribe to CBS All Access an opportunity to watch this exciting series on disc. We might also add that when given the choice a high quality Blu-ray is preferable to a digital stream any day of the week.
On Blu-ray the episodes are presented in 1080p at 16×9 with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. And, the Blu-ray edition includes bonus material like Story Logs, Deleted Scenes, Gag Reel, a Star Trek: Short Trek titled Children of Mars, and more.
Star Trek: Discovery Seasons 1 and 2 also featured many options for subtitles that hopefully ‘Picard’ will offer including English SDH, Danish, Flemish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. [Update. Subtitles appear to only be provided in English SDH.]
