We’ve known for a while that Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 will be arriving on Blu-ray this summer, but now we’ve got an official look at the upcoming special Steelbook packaging design, as well as a full breakdown of all the included features!
Revealed on StarTrek.com today, the third season of Star Trek: Discovery will be available on Blu-ray in two editions on July 20, including the now-standard special Steelbook packaging option.
Like the Steelbook releases for Seasons 1 and 2, the Discovery Season 3 Steelbook features one of the dominant images from the year — the 32nd century emblem of the United Federation of Planets — and includes glossy interior art of the show’s cast.
The standard Blu-ray edition, as well as the DVD release, utilizes the standard Discovery Season 3 key art of the cast perched top a rocky peak, centered around Michael Burnham and the future Federation flag.
In addition to all thirteen episodes of Star Trek: Discovery Season 3, the upcoming Blu-ray set will contain all of this bonus material (in both standard and Steelbook editions):
STAR TREK: DISCOVERY: THE VOYAGE OF SEASON 3 – Jump to the future with the crew of the Discovery as they discuss the new adventures with writers and producers, and dive into how their visions were realized by the cast, sets, costumes and props.
STUNTED – Featuring interviews with cast and stunt coordinator Christopher Maguire, fans get a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the stunts from rehearsal to the expertise required to make them safe, believable and executed to perfection.
BEING MICHAEL BURNHAM – Sonequa Martin Green takes fans on her season-long journey as Michael Burnham with her personal record of the season and this beloved character.
KENNETH MITCHELL: TO BOLDLY GO – Traditionally the man behind the mask in Discovery, Kenneth Mitchell is unveiled as Aurellio in the third season. Featuring cast and crew interviews, this emotional and intimate look touches on Kenneth’s life with ALS. Discussed on camera for the first time, the featurette highlights how Kenneth’s wheelchair was included for his on-screen character, his own take on the various roles he played in Discovery and what those roles mean to the show.
BRIDGE BUILDING – Fans have been intrigued by Starship Discovery’s Bridge Crew for three seasons. Now, they can immerse themselves in all things crew-related in this behind-the-scenes look showcasing the characters and actors who bring them to life each week.
WRITER’S LOG: MICHELLE PARADISE – Showrunner Michelle Paradise provides a personal log about shooting the beginning of season three in Iceland.
DELETED SCENES & GAG REEL
Unfortunately, it seems like there won’t be any audio commentary tracks on this season’s release, but hopefully those will return for Discovery‘s Season 4 Blu-ray release when it arrives in late 2022.
In the meantime, you can lock in your preorder for the standard Blu-ray edition or DVD release of Discovery Season 3 today; the Steelbook variant isn’t up for preorder yet but you can watch this listing at Amazon for its availability.
