Nope, I don't think so either, sadly.
But not enough people would buy it nowadays to make it profitable for Warner. Every Bluray Master woulkd cost them several hundred bucks and to maintain a decent quality, they can at max put like 5 or 6 episodes on one disc before compression starts to show it's ugly face.
That would be like 70 discs in total for the whole show and would probably be priced 300+ dollars per set and they would have to sell a shit ton of them to make it profitable.
No chance anymore today. 5 years ago... maybe. They waited way to long with the remaster imo.
But i don't care for their mistakes anymore, i will have them all on my harddrive in HD sooner or later anyway.

No. Streaming is the present and the future.

And the future? There's always something new.
I think home video will eventually return in some format -- people like a hard copy of their favorites. After all, Kindle didn't replace books.

Yes, a Blu-ray release is planned and will likely be released in time for Christmas 2023.

Warners releases a steady stream of blu ray products. They have not given up on physical media. I see them releasing a blu ray set soon. I've also heard rumblings that it will be added to their max (formerly HBOmax) streaming platform once their licensing agreement with Amazon Prime expires.

Because @Garry already confirmed a Blu-ray release is in the pipeline on my thread Dallas HD remastering nearly completed.
I take it you haven't read it?

It’s a multi platform product. Freevee doesn’t preclude Max and others.

Dallas will not be disappearing from Amazon Freevee any time soon. They have just started to offer to purchase the remastered episodes in full HD.
We were told back in 2021 that the remastered show would make its way on to blu ray. I see no change to that plan but who knows. Warner has gone through a major restructuring this past eighteen months.

Yes and Zaslav isn't known for preserving treasures as the recent cuts at TCM proved.
The question is: did they plan to restore Knots Landing too or were they actually working on it? Because if not I don't see Zaslav being ok with it. The way he thinks...there is no profit to make.

True. Discovery not exactly keen on producing any physical media.
No TV show pre 1995 has been released since the merger.

Dallas is not on FreeVee it's on Amazon Prime Video, an ad-free streaming platform from Amazon.
FreeVee (formerly IMDBTv) is an ad-supported streaming platform available via Amazon but it and Amazon Prime Video are not one and the same.
Amazon Prime Video still has a licensing agreement with Warner Bros Discovery to exclusively stream DALLAS.

It is in glorious HD on both, Prime and Freevee in the US. It has been available on Freevee since launch, initially the same old SD copies used on Prime and then replaced by the new HD copies, on both. There are plenty of posts about it in the HD remastering thread (including the misnumbering of the seasons on Freevee as shown in the photo below which I have just taken).
In many other countries it is on Prime along with other streaming services, for example RTL+ in Germany.

Unfortunately for Australian Amazon Prime customers, Dallas is not available. I'm nearly tempted to suspend my subscription and when they ask why I'll tell them no Dallas unlike my good friends in America. I don't understand why I cannot access it. Dallas is not available anywhere, on any format in Australia.

on Apple TV France it's the sd version
i also doubt there will be a blu ray release , or maybe not soon. when you check Amazon for the next releases, dallas does not appear anywhere. Maybe in October or December but not before

Amazon Prime isn't it? Few pound per episode I believe.
It's in SD Amazon prime/video in UK.

Apple/iTunes (not AppleTV+!!) has it in HD, Prime in SD.
Prime not having swapped their SD versions for HD would imply that someone else has grabbed the HD rights for an exclusive period. Who knows, might be added to ITV Hub or Channel 4 as they both have added quite a few random classic US series.
