The Sopranos Hits 4K Ultra HD for the First Time in a 28-Disc Limited Edition
By Lio Renwick
HBO is releasing The Sopranos: The Complete Series on 4K Ultra HD in December. The complete six-season, 86-episode run arrives in 4K for the first time as a 28-disc set that pairs the remastered series with two bonus discs. It joins a wave of full-run TV box sets such Arrow Video's Stranger Things: The Complete Series on 4K Ultra HD.
Bonus Features
The first bonus disc carries an all-new, never-before-seen David Chase featurette, with a final title still to be confirmed. The second bonus disc holds Wise Guy: David Chase and The Sopranos, the two-part HBO Original documentary directed by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney. Gibney's film digs into the psyche of the series' creator and writer, tracing his life, his career, and his work on the show across two parts.
The two new discs sit alongside bonus material from the previous The Sopranos: Complete Series Blu-ray. The archival material includes seven original behind-the-scenes featurettes, and brings back the audio commentaries recorded for multiple episodes with Chase, along with writers, directors, producers, and members of the cast.
Cast and Story
James Gandolfini stars as Tony Soprano, a husband and mob boss whose professional and personal strains keep landing him in his therapist's office. The ensemble around him includes Lorraine Bracco as his doctor, Edie Falco as his wife, Michael Imperioli as his hot-headed nephew, and Dominic Chianese as his uncle. The series is rated TV-MA.
Packaging
The set ships in collectible limited-edition hardcover packaging that lays flat when open, with the cast presented across vibrant full-color spreads. That book-style approach differs from the standard box treatment given to other long-running shows, such as the Cobra Kai complete series on Blu-ray.
Awards and Legacy
The Sopranos won 21 Primetime Emmy Awards from 111 nominations and took Outstanding Drama Series twice, in 2004 and 2007, becoming the first cable television drama to win the category.
Gandolfini won three Emmy Awards as Tony Soprano and Falco won three as Carmela Soprano, with further supporting wins for Imperioli, Drea de Matteo, and Joe Pantoliano.
The series also won five Golden Globe Awards, among them Best Television Series – Drama in 2000, and is widely credited with helping launch the modern era of prestige television on premium cable, a lineage that runs through later premium-cable and streaming dramas now reaching disc, including the It: Welcome to Derry limited-edition 4K steelbook and For All Mankind on Blu-ray.
The Sopranos: The Complete Series releases December 8, 2026 and is currently available to pre-order.
