“I had been pushing to do a Blu-Ray of SPACED for years, so to find out that someone just went ahead without our involvement is….

As per the description: “This global first Blu-Ray collection has been upgraded to a brand new 4K master using a combination of traditional and proprietary tools in a multi-step process of non-commercial and algorithmic corrections that are additionally enhanced frame by frame by a manual operator — guaranteeing the most state-of-the-art upconversion possible.” Created by Pegg and Hynes, still beloved by many and regularly cited as one of the U.K.’s best comedies, “Spaced” aired on Channel 4 and was a surreal, slacker sitcom famed for its quick-fire editing and pop-culture hallucinations. The plot loosely followed two 20-something Londoners (Pegg and Hynes) pretending to be a couple so they could rent a cheap room in a shared house also occupied by a frustrated and eccentric painter, an army fanatic and a chainsmoking landlady.

Wright directed all 14 episodes. The show’s fanbase grew internationally as Wright, Pegg and Frost continued their collaboration into film with “Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz” and “The World’s End.” A 2008 DVD release featured special guests including Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, Bill Hader, Diablo Cody, Matt Stone and Patton Oswalt.

Asked by another fan on X how he didn’t know about the new remastered edition, Wright replied: “It’s a Channel 4 show. We were all very involved in the previous editions, but not this one.

Finding out.” The new 4K Blu-Ray release is due out in February 2027 and comes from All3Media, now part of Banijay Entertainment following the completion of the merger earlier this year. Variety has reached out for comment.
