Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on 4K Blu-ray Johan Renck's TV mini series Chernobyl (2019), starring Jared Harris, Stellan Skarsgård, Paul Ritter, Emily Watson, and Jessie Buckley. The release will be available for purchase on December 1.
Description: On April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, Soviet Union suffered a massive explosion that released radioactive material across Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, and as far as Scandinavia and western Europe. This gripping five-part miniseries follows the tragedy from the onset of the early-morning explosion through the chaos and loss of life in the ensuing days, weeks and months.
Jared Harris portrays Valery Legasov, a leading Soviet nuclear physicist who was one of the first to grasp the scope of the unparalleled disaster that occurred. Stellan Skarsgård plays Soviet Deputy Prime Minister Boris Shcherbina, who is assigned by the Kremlin to lead the government commission on Chernobyl in the hours immediately following the accident. Emily Watson portrays Ulana Khomyuk, a Soviet nuclear physicist committed to solving the mystery of what led to the Chernobyl disaster.
Chernobyl was written and executive produced by Craig Mazin (The Huntsman: Winter's War) and directed by Johan Renck (Breaking Bad). The miniseries was produced by Sister Pictures and The Mighty Mint as an HBO/Sky co-production. Emmy-winner Carolyn Strauss (Game of Thrones) and Jane Featherstone (Broadchurch) were executive producers while Johan Renck and Chris Fry (Humans) were co-executive producers. Sanne Wohlenberg (Black Mirror) was producer.
"Chernobyl is an extraordinary miniseries from beginning to end," said Rosemary Markson, WBHE Senior Vice President, TV Marketing. She added, "Viewers will be completely captivated by the powerful acting performances, exceptional writing, gorgeous cinematography and great attention to detail the series' creators took in capturing the authenticity of the time and place of the original event. This is why Chernobyl should be experienced in 4K Blu-ray. We're thrilled to offer consumers the opportunity to add this award-winning series in 4K Blu-ray to their home entertainment collections."
