The Blu-ray and DVD of Star Trek: Discovery season 1 warp into stores this November, beginning with the US and Canada.
The first season of Discovery will be available as a limited edition steelbook in the US and Canada from Nov. 13 and the UK from Nov. 19. Australian fans can get involved from Nov. 28.
