FAQ - Digital Release Info

Digital Releases

Will & Grace premiered worldwide on VOD sites on August 14th, 2017. Like the DVD’s, they are a mixed bag in terms of quality AND editing. To date, the US has only seasons 1-4 while 5-8 have been released elsewhere. For the first time ever, season 8 is available in HD.

If you’re interested in upgrading your DVD sets, there is absolutely no reason to do so, other than the convenience of having them available on a digital platform. However, if you live in the US, this will be your first chance to get many episodes in 16x9 widescreen. That said, even though there are widescreen masters available elsewhere for seasons 3-8 on disc, the episodes found digitally switch back and forth between 16x9 and 4x3.

All of the syndicated edits found on the DVD sets are also found on these digital versions. Additionally, even more episodes have been split to their syndicated versions. For some reason, some episodes are only shown in 4x3 but can be found on International DVDs as 16x9 widescreen.

Let's take a look at each season individually.

Season 1

Like the DVD set, this season is mostly complete as originally aired. However, oddly enough, the Pilot episode features an alternate opening that has never aired before. This can exclusively be found on the digital set. If you’re looking for the original intro, that can be found on the DVD’s.
