This was a massive ratings hit miniseries. They usually release their smash hits on BD - Chernobyl, Big Little Lies. The rest end up on DVD-R, like The Plot Against America.

I was just hoping it would get the Chernobyl treatment. A nice 4K release even with a steelbook.

Well, to be fair, CHERNOBYL was BD-only initially. The 4K came quite a bit later. If MoE sells like hotcakes (which is unlikely, since it’s coming via Warner Archive, but we can hope), maybe they’ll follow up with a 4K later.

Didn't realize that. God I hope it does then.

Yep, the UHD of Chernobyl came out 14 months to the day after the BD. They clearly released the UHD due to stunningly high sales of the BD.

Is this not yet available for preorder and, being a Warner Archive title, will it only be accessible from Amazon?
