Some Apple TV+ shows coming out on Blu-ray and DVD

Benjamin Mayo, 9to5Mac:

The Apple original limited series ‘Defending Jacob’ starring Chris Evans, has been released on Blu-ray and DVD this week. This makes it the first Apple TV+ original title to get a physical media disc release.

And:

Given that Apple TV+ has been out for almost two years at this point, it seemed fair to assume that Apple had maintained release exclusivity over its original TV shows and movies, requiring everyone wanting to watch to get an Apple TV+ subscription.

However, the physical media release of Defending Jacob by Paramount shows that this is not a strict hard-and-fast rule. Travel series Long Way Up is also promoting a disc release coming later in the year.

Reading this, it appears that at least for some of its show deals, the rights to physical media time out and stay with the originating studio.

Will we ever see Ted Lasso on Blu-ray or DVD? Might Apple make such a deal with a third party distributor for streaming content it originated and owns completely?
