Many Newer Shows Skipping Blu-ray Releases
“a lot of newer shows are not being released on blu ray anymore”
Summary
The home‑video market has shifted, and in 2026 fewer new TV series receive Blu‑ray editions, with many streaming‑first shows omitted from physical releases. While a few recent titles (e.g., “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t,” “Predator: Badlands,” “Chainsaw Man”) still get Blu‑ray, the overall trend shows a significant drop in Blu‑ray releases for newer series.
