If you’re both a Game of Thrones and 4K addict then you may have been a little miffed that you could only get the first and eighth seasons in the 4K Ultra HD format. The great news is that you need no longer be concerned about a gaping hole in your collection, as all eight of them hit home in this new boxset. Based on George R.R. Martin’s best-selling book series A Song of Ice and Fire , you’re not alone if you’re a fan, with the show being HBO’s most popular ever, nabbing 161 Emmy nominations and 59 wins during its run – that’s the most nominations and wins of any series in Emmy history!

department. If seeing and hearing your Game of Thrones better than ever before isn’t enough, or if you crave more after your re-watch, the set also comes with more than 15 hours of bonus material to get immersed in. These include the Game of Thrones Reunion Special , a documentary on

the series that chronicles the making of the final season, and a selection of audio commentaries. Whether you know your Lannisters from your Starks or you’re new to the world of Game of Thrones , this is undeniably one impressive boxed set. Out Nov 18

COMING SOON

There’s precious aplenty for fantasy fans in December, with the release of both The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit Trilogy on our favourite format. Action fans will dig The New Mutants , Blade and the Total Recall 30th Anniversary Edition , while those who are into drama will be able to feast upon the Special Edition of Oscar-winner Parasite , and the mini-series Chernobyl . There’s also Trolls World Tour for the kids, and the incredible animation of Weathering with You . Finally, if you’re after a bit of mystery, Christopher Nolan’s Tenet is also making its way to 4K.

MULAN (1998) Disney’s live-action version was one of the Covid cinema closure casualties this year, but its classic animated predecessor hits 4K Ultra HD this month. The traditional Disney historical musical, based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, will arrive on 4K with HDR enhancement and, we’re led to believe, a new Dolby Atmos audio track. Out Nov 11

RESIDENT EVIL The original movie based on the enduring Capcom video game series (which became a runaway film franchise) gets the 4K Ultra HD release that fans have been waiting for this month, and it’s full of Milla Jovovich goodness! Her Alice takes on the evil Umbrella Corporation in an HDR-infused release that also boasts a brand-new Dolby Atmos sound mix. Out Nov 11
