'Ted Lasso' complete series Blu Ray box set may arrive soon

Warner Bros is planning to release a Blu-ray box set of all three "Ted Lasso" seasons, making it one of the few Apple TV+ shows to get a physical media release.
Apple TV+ drama "Defending Jacob" got a Blu-ray and DVD release in 2021, as did Sofia Coppola's film "On The Rocks." Then in 2022, a release was initially made in the UK of a small selection of shows, including "For All Mankind," but otherwise, Apple TV+ has shown little interest in physical media.
It probably still hasn't. Each of those releases will have been made because of rights agreements that allowed the production companies to exploit their properties outside of streaming.
Which is why the rumor that Warner Bros is preparing a release for "Ted Lasso" is likely. According to a forum posting on Blu-ray.com, the release has been moving around on the schedule, but is currently expected on July 30.
Other lists of Blu-ray releases for 2024 do not include the show anywhere, however. Given that the series was the first Apple TV+ hit, and in 2023 was the most-watched series of any streamer, though, it would be surprising if there weren't a release, assuming rights issues allow it.
"Ted Lasso" ran from 2020 to 2023 with a total of 34 episodes over its 3 seasons. While the comedy is said to have concluded, its cast and co-creator have repeatedly hinted that there may be more to come.
It's not Apple's first complete-series box set, though. The one-season "Defending Jacob" is available on Blu-Ray, and it is technically the entire run of the show.

I was letdown by the 3rd season of Ted Lasso. The first and second seasons were pretty enjoyable.
I don't think I'd pick up the physical release though. I'd prefer a 4K release of Mythic Quest instead.
There better be some biscuits in that box!
