North American Doctor Who fans will finally be able to own the 60th Anniversary specials on DVD and Blu-ray this Christmas
Doctor Who’s three 60th Anniversary specials will be getting an American release on Blu-ray and DVD later this year. The UK editions followed their television broadcast swiftly, coming out last December. Meanwhile, the US versions will ultimately arrive a year later, coming out on the 10th of December 2024.
It’s good news for the show’s American fans, especially those without access to Doctor Who’s international home, Disney+. Although it’s been a long wait compared to that British release, a one year wait is comparatively quick for a Disney+ show. It also means that fans in American might well get the 2024 season on DVD and Blu-ray by this time next year.
There’s no information yet as to whether or not the American versions will contain all the same extracts as the UK discs. However, if they do it will also be the first opportunity for viewers there to see content that was previously exclusive to iPlayer and never included on Disney+. It makes the set a must buy for people wanting to get copies of Doctor Who Unleashed or the in-vision commentaries, even if they already have Disney+.
You can pre-order the 60th Anniversary Specials now from all good US retailers.
