Riker) and Robert Duncan McNeill (“Star Trek: Voyager”, Tom Paris).
IMPORTANT NOTE: we have not received any studio-sourced announcement for this title, either in the USA or in Canada…we feel strongly that Amazon’s branch in Canada listed this title earlier than they were supposed to (and we wouldn’t be surprised if it possibly gets pulled back down for a while). The listing is only for the DVD format version, but we’re confident that it will be available on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc formats, in both Canada and the United States. In fact, Amazon’s USA branch shows a listing for a Blu-ray version (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Y3VWPXT), but has no date, pricing, or other info besides the description and list of extras noted above. Neither listing shows any box art, and the pricing and date shown at Amazon Canada’s listing might not be finalized yet, and could be subject to change. Stay tuned!
