With streaming prices going up and movies and TV shows hopping from one service to another without warning, it's a good time to own your favorites on physical media. Whether it's to ensure you can always watch them regardless of what streaming services you subscribe to, or you just enjoy the act of collecting, it's good to know when the newest releases are coming out on 4K UHD and Blu-ray. You know, as long as you have a good way to play them (see our list of the best Blu-ray players for help on that front). Below, you'll find a full rundown of release dates and buy links for all the upcoming home releases you're likely to care about.
If you want a TL;DR of the biggest upcoming home movie and TV show releases, look no further than the list above. We keep it updated and change out the featured items regularly. Below, you'll find all the notable upcoming release sorted by release date.
As usual, January isn't a huge month for new releases (most of those came out in time for the holiday shopping season) but that's not to say there's nothing new to watch. This month sees a number of new 4K releases (Seven, Chinatown, Once Upon a Time in the West, Kill Bills, etc.), plus a handful of new films like Venom: The Last Dance, The Substance, and a few others.

If you're looking to buy a new TV that will make your 4K movies shine, you'll definitely want to take a look at our favorites. Our tech editors have selected the best 4K TVs for gaming, which will also work great for movie-watching. And since both the PS5 and Xbox Series X have 4K Blu-ray play-back built in, you'll probably be doing plenty of gaming on them as well.
The LG C4 is currently our top pick for a gaming TV, but since they're brand new in 2024, you might want to consider picking up last year's model, the LG C3, which costs significantly less for the same size TV. There aren't any real must-have new features on the C4, so you're not missing much. Get the one that best fits your needs and your budget.
