Star Trek: The Next Generation HD

To mark the nearing 25th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation, CBS Paramount have announced that the series will be released in high-definition on blu-ray!

Star Trek: The Next Generation Title

Initially, a sampler blu-ray disc including four episodes will be released. The episodes include Encounter at Farpoint Parts I & II, Sins of the Father and The Inner Light. At the moment the sample is scheduled for the end of January 2012 but the seasons will follow throughout 2012, the year in which TNG will celebrate its 25th Anniversary.

I am super excited, even though I currently own the all seven seasons on DVD! They're unwatched and I'm hoping I can move them along in preparation of the jump to HD. Hopefully the release of the series will be swift and available for Region B (UK and AU) for us to enjoy it.

In the meantime I have the rest of Season 3 of The Original Series to watch on blu-ray before hitting The Animated Series and then the six original movies. So there's plenty of time for the TNG release :)

Watch the little spoiler below to see a couple of scenes from TNG in HD - Engage!
