![[REVIEW] STAR TREK: SHORT TREKS "Children of Mars": All Hands... Battlestations](https://treknews.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/review-star-trek-short-treks-children-of-mars.jpg)
The third live-action Star Trek television series, Deep Space Nine, is being re-released on DVD by CBS Home Entertainment early next year.
While it doesn’t look like Sisko and crew will be getting a high-definition Blu-ray upgrade (as has been done with The Original Series, The Next Generation and Enterprise) just yet, the new box set will package all seven seasons of the series together.
We haven’t received word on any newly-recorded bonus content, that will be added to the set. However, some of the standout features seen on the original single-season DVD releases from 2003 included:
- “Deep Space Nine: A Bold New Beginning” featurette
- “New Frontiers — The Story of Deep Space Nine” with Rick Berman, Michael Piller, Ira Behr, and Robert Hewitt Wolfe
- “The Birth of the Dominion and Beyond” with Ira Steven Behr
- Two mini-documentaries looking at “Trials and Tribble-ations”
- “Ending an Era” featurette, reflecting on the final season of the series
- A multi-part feature looking at the aliens designed by FX artist Michael Westmore
All of the above are expected to carry over to this new box set. We’ve reached out to CBS to inquire about the possibility of any new bonus material, as well.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine originally ran from 1993 to 1999 and starred Avery Brooks, Nana Visitor, Rene Auberjonois, Terry Farrell, Colm Meaney, Cirroc Lofton, Armin Shimerman, Alexander Siddig, Michael Dorn and Nicole de Boer.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – The Complete Series on DVD will be available on February 7, 2017.
UPDATE:
Amazon has a pre-order now available for the set along with some cover art for the individual DVD seasons.

Thats ok by me. I sold all my DS9 and VOY dvd seasons in anticipation of their blu-ray release. Boy did I jump the gun. Just been watching them on Netflix over the years, but I always want physical copies of Star Trek. Looking forward to nice, fresh new boxset. Besides I prefer the tv series in complete boxsets and the movies as individual steel books.

Well I guess they don’t want to spend the money on restoring DS9 and releasing these out on Blu-Ray like they did with the Next Generation Blu-Rays. Honestly it doesn’t make much sense most fans have the DS9 DVD sets from 2003 already.

Leave it to CBS to release in a format that is nearly obsolete.
I am so disappointed with CBS. Zero celebration for the 50th anniversary, a quagmire with Discovery and the complete mishandling of the Star Trek franchise.

Y’all just made my day! I recently viewed the series all the way thru for the first time, via Amazon. Been looking for a set since they released TOS & TNG this year

Whilst this is good, Its better to get the new full journey version instead. Far better choice. Waist of time this is thou, We want DS9 and Voyager on blu ray so we can complete our sets and experience DS9 and Voyager the way they were meant to be seen. Its amazing how much detail and quality is lost on playback with DVD’s. Of course at the time, DVD was the new format but now less so. However if you don’t care about the ultimate experience then DVD’s are still bloody good.

CBS Stop pissing around, Do your jobs, provide us with our “Home Entertainment” Get your cheque book out and start writing some fucking cheques. You should be fired for your waist of the Star Trek Brand. Since the end of Enterprise and for Paramount since the end of Nemesis.

I’m sure it’s not cheap to restore 7 seasons of TV, but good god man- DVD? Nope, not interested.

This release is a rip off. Some of my fav episodes are NOT in this box set. I believe that if something is marketed as complete it should be. I noticed on a Voyageur season, the same thing happened there as well. Some of the episodes are missing, Shame on Paramount.
