I test 4K Blu-ray for a living and these are the 5 discs I'm most looking forward to in September 2026, including 'one of the most curious 4K releases I've seen'

In September 2026, four 4K Blu-ray releases are eagerly anticipated, including a curious entry among them. Supergirl, starring Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El, is set to release in the UK on September 7th, promising visually stunning environments and bold colors. The disc supports Dolby Atmos, which should deliver an immersive surround sound experience and enhance the film's fight sequences and set pieces.

Disney's Hamilton, starring Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton, will hit UK shelves on September 21st. This 4K Blu-ray features a Dolby Atmos soundtrack that should excel when paired with a compatible display, providing a powerful bass response to the film's hip-hop style music and booming action scenes. Disney's film also boasts Dolby Vision support, ensuring detailed and textured visuals for the period costumes.

Criterion Collection's 12 Angry Men, a classic drama, is another highly anticipated 4K Blu-ray release. Available in the UK on September 14th, this movie features a monaural soundtrack, which may not showcase a home theater system, but the detailed restoration and impressive contrast should make the black and white visuals stand out. Criterion is known for producing impressive 4K releases, and this title is sure to live up to their reputation.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu, a continuation of the popular TV series, is set to arrive in the UK on September 28th. This movie features stunning visuals from the colorful Star Wars universe, with plenty of detail and brilliant cinematography. Dolby Vision support and Dolby Atmos sound should provide an engaging and immersive viewing experience, with action-packed scenes and dynamic sound to test even the most advanced home theater setups.
