Exciting news, everyone – Paramount has released Defending Jacob on home video! Though the series streamed in 4K on Apple TV+, it seems Paramount has only put out Blu-Ray and DVD releases for the time being.

9to5Mac reports:

The Apple original limited series ‘Defending Jacob’ starring Chris Evans, has been released on Blu-ray and DVD this week. This makes it the first Apple TV+ original title to get a physical media disc release.

Defending Jacob debuted on Apple’s streaming service in April 2020, more than a year ago. Released a month into worldwide lockdown, Defending Jacob is believed to have been a hit for Apple TV+ with audience demand rivalling the original set of launch shows.

The crime drama series stars Chris Evans, Michelle Dockery and Jaeden Martell. Andy Barber (Evans) must defend his son (Martell) in a murder trial and goes to great lengths to prove his innocence to the court. The story is based off a book of the same name. Apple signed the show’s screenwriter, Mark Bomback, for an exclusive TV development deal following Defending Jacob’s success.

Given that Apple TV+ has been out for almost two years at this point, it seemed fair to assume that Apple had maintained release exclusivity over its original TV shows and movies, requiring everyone wanting to watch to get an Apple TV+ subscription.

However, the physical media release of Defending Jacob by Paramount shows that this is not a strict hard-and-fast rule. Travel series Long Way Up is also promoting a disc release coming later in the year.

In general, you would expect that Apple would want to keep its content exclusive to its streaming service and nowhere else to encourage TV+ subscriptions. However, Apple has never confirmed the nature of platform exclusivity. It is likely that Apple’s production deals with its partners vary and it retains more rights to some projects than others.

In this case, evidently Paramount has retained the physical media rights for Defending Jacob in order for it to be made available on disc. It even includes previously unseen bonus content and special features. The disc does not appear to feature any Apple branding at all.


As promised a few weeks back, I was finally able to get captures from Jaeden’s performance in The True Adventures of Wolfboy – sourced from a 1080p presentation – sorted and added to the gallery! Check them out below.


Wishing Jaeden a wonderful 18th birthday today from Jaeden Martell Archives! Be sure to drop by his social media pages and wish him a good day!


Here are two [virtual] interviews from November that Jaeden did to promote the release of The True Adventures of Wolfboy. The first – from October 27 – is with HeyUGuys, while the second – from November 19 – is with Moviefone.


Captures from the film will be coming to the gallery soon!


The gallery has been updated with HQ photos from some of Jaeden’s appearances in 2019, as well as two new photoshoots from 2019 and candids from 2017! Check them out below.


The filmography section has been updated with completed pages for It Chapter Two, It Chapter One, The Lodge, The Book of Henry and St. Vincent.

Additionally, the gallery will slowly begin to reflect these projects better, but you can take a look at what’s been added so far for films and television.
