HBO’s powerful mini-series Chernobyl has been given a 4k upgrade and will release on Ultra HD Blu-ray on Dec. 1, 2020. This will be the best video quality the 5-episode series has ever been available, as most TV broadcasts only offered 1080i or at most streaming in 1080p through internet-connected apps. [Update: Max offers Chernobyl in 4k UHD with Dolby Vision HDR.]
The Blu-ray and DVD editions of Chernobyl were released just about a year ago in October, 2019.
Special features include Inside the Episodes, Behind-the-Curtain Featurette, What is Chernobyl? Pivotal Moment – The Trial, and Script-to-Screen Featurette.
The 4-disc 4k Blu-ray/Blu-ray edition from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (MSRP $44.98) is now $34.99 Buy on Amazon (Remember, Amazon charges the lowest price upon ship date.)
We’re not sure if any digital services will offer the series in 4k following the release of the Ultra HD discs.
Chernobyl was created by Craig Mazin and stars Jessie Buckley, Jared Harris, and Stellan Skarsgård. The show is based on the catastrophic event of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion in April 1986.
