    Home Media Releases

    DVD

    Releases of Panopticon on DVD began in Autumn 2008, just after the show began.

    Initially the show was released on season box-sets, with 2-3 episodes on each disc. The style of box-set remained consistent for seasons 1-3, with an outer sleeve and a digipack in the middle, which folded open holding the discs, however seasons 5-7 were released with an outer sleeve, and inside a digipack which had 5 plastic trays inside, holding each disc.

    These releases were released in only Region 2 and Region 4. Region 1 had slightly different releases, it used much of the same artwork but CBS DVD issued the releases in single amaray cases with multiple plastic holders for discs.

    When the series concluded in 2013, in September 2|Entertain and CBS DVD released 'Panopticon: the Complete Box-Set Collection', which contained all the discs from all 7 DVD box-sets, packaged together in one large amaray case. The set contained no-new material, or even disc art.

    Blu-Ray

    The Blu-Ray releases for Panopticon began at the same time, with blu-ray versions of the season box-sets being releases simultaneously. The releases contained very similar artwork, with only minor changes to fit the blu-ray case format.

    In 2013, a blu-ray version of 'Panopticon: the Complete Box-Set Collection' was released, which like it's DVD counterpart, was just all of the discs from the season box-sets.

    In 2015, a brand new box-set, 'Panopticon: the Complete Collection' was released. This set not only contained new value added material, but also disc art, disc menus, multiple retrospective interviews, and remastered picture and sound quality, making the series look better than it ever had before. This collection was exclusive to blu-ray.

    Digital

    In 2015, when the blu-ray collection was released, Netflix also acquired the rights to stream all seven seasons of Panopticon around the world.

    From 2016, however, Amazon Prime Video, included Panopticon as part of its catalogue, but only as one of their paid shows, and therefore it wasn't included with subscription.
