Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey Set for November Release on Home Media

After a staggering $1.78 billion at the global box office, Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s epic, The Odyssey, is set to make its way to home entertainment. The announcement revealed that fans can expect both digital and physical releases in November, allowing them to experience The Odyssey from the comfort of their own homes, complete with “exclusive content never-before-seen by audiences.”

The home video release is scheduled to arrive “months” ahead of its streaming debut, which is anticipated to land on NBCUniversal’s Peacock in 2027.

Mark your calendars for November 17, as The Odyssey will be available on digital platforms, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD.

This home release will feature over 90 minutes of special content, all “personally overseen by Christopher Nolan.” Included in the bonus features are behind-the-scenes footage, interviews with the cast and crew, and the film’s IMAX-exclusive prologue. Some of these special features will be exclusive to the physical editions of The Odyssey.

Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, The Odyssey boasts a star-studded cast including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, and Samantha Morton, alongside Zendaya and Charlize Theron. They are joined by John Leguizamo, Jon Bernthal, Himesh Patel, Bill Irwin, Elliot Page, and Benny Safdie.

Nolan’s take on this classic tale has not only been a box office triumph—ranking as the second-highest-grossing film of 2026, just behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day—but it has also garnered critical acclaim. One review described The Odyssey as “one of the most epic and beautiful films of all time.”

The review highlighted Nolan “at the height of his power,” utilizing every skill and technique to craft a narrative that is both awe-inspiring and refreshingly clear. With a sprawling ensemble cast, stunning special effects, and a masterful score from Ludwig Göransson, The Odyssey is portrayed as Nolan’s most refined work. It’s likened to a condensed version of a Lord of the Rings trilogy, a meticulous homage to a cherished story told with a perfect blend of fidelity and creative freedom, making it both timely and timeless.

The adventures of Odysseus continue even after he finally reaches Ithaca.
