Apple’s acclaimed science fiction series “Severance” is set to be released on Blu-ray on December 17, 2024. This release comes just ahead of the highly anticipated second season, scheduled to premiere on January 17, 2025. The choice of release date is strategic, aligning with the holiday shopping season when Blu-ray collections are popular gifts. While some of Apple’s series have been licensed to networks, it’s rare for an Apple production to be available on physical media. The Blu-ray distribution will be handled by Fifth Season, and pre-orders have started on Amazon in the U.S., with France expected to open pre-orders shortly.

“Severance” has become one of the standout series on Apple TV+, praised for its storytelling and originality since its launch in February 2022. The show has garnered a strong fanbase, achieving a viewer rating of 4.4/5 on AlloCiné, comparable to all-time favorites like “Breaking Bad” and “The Walking Dead.” Following its popularity, Apple renewed the series for a second season, emphasizing its significance within their streaming content lineup. The upcoming Blu-ray release marks a notable shift in Apple’s strategy regarding physical media distribution, which is uncommon for their original series.

The Blu-ray release of “Severance” on December 17, 2024, aligns perfectly with the holiday season, aiming to attract fans eager for the upcoming second season. This is a rare move for Apple, which usually maintains streaming exclusivity, and will be distributed by Fifth Season. Pre-orders are currently available in the U.S., with Europe expected to follow soon.
