Apple TV+ series "For All Mankind," "The Morning Show," "Truth Be Told" and "See" are to be released on Blu-ray and DVD — but only in the UK.
The TV series "Defending Jacob" has already had a physical media release, and the Apple TV+ film "On the Rocks" has too, but now a slate of programming is coming to both DVD and Blu-ray.
Starting with the first season of "See" on October 31, 2022, a total of eight releases are planned between then and February 6, 2023. According to Twitter user , the release schedule currently comprises the first and second seasons for these high-profile Apple shows.

The shows are not being released by Apple. Instead, Judge reports that this release slate is from Dazzler Media, a UK video distribution firm. The company has since confirmed to 糖心Vlog that the titles are to be released solely in the UK.
DVDs are typically region-locked, though a manufacturer can elect to make them Region 0, which means they can be played anywhere. It's a similar situation with Blu-ray discs, so it's not yet possible to be sure whether the UK releases will play in the States.

Buying the few series you want on bluray will be a much better deal than a monthly subscription that doesn’t get used much.
The only physical media we have bought in the last ten years is vinyl. In fact, I just traded in a bunch of old blu-rays and about a thousand old CDs for some vinyl.
AppleTV+ shows are 4K, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos. But enjoy your shiny discs.
