Sky Atlantic series Regieme

They new Sky Atlantic series Regieme, was advertised as being available in UHD. However, today, 8th April 2024, it is only available to download in either SD or HD. Where is the UHD which was promised?

 

I subscribe to Sky UHD and have no issues with Sports, Films etc.

It can sometimes take Sky a little while longer to upload content in UHD due to the larger file sizes so I would say keep out for it over the coming few days.

@MikeH78 

Despite being shot in 4K and graded in Dolby Vision, The Regime is actually only currently available in HD direct from the Max streaming service in the USA. 

HBO sometimes do this with a few of their original series, they'll release them initially in the lesser format, particularly if episodes are dropped weekly as was the case with The Regime, then upgrade them to the full 4K HDR versions at a later date. 
They did this with the final series of Succession - episodes dropped weekly in HD then the whole season turned to 4K Dolby Vision a week or so after the final episode dropped. This encourages customers to watch again, therefore inflating the viewing figures. 
HBO have different deals with overseas markets so it may be that Sky get the UHD HLG versions before the USA get the 4K Dolby Vision versions.
The final episode of The Regime dropped on Sunday evening in the US, when Sky released the whole season onto its platform but it remains in HD on Max. It's a very character-driven drama and well worth watching, regardless of format.

Re: Sky Atlantic series Regieme

Then why did Sky UK advertise the series as available in UHD?

Re: Sky Atlantic series Regieme

Thanks @Padam_PadamThat would explain it.

I was expecting UHD to appear after the broadcast of ep1 as often happens, but not this time.

Sky seem to  have messed this up a bit though. They presumably must, or should, have known, but I don't recall the trailers saying UHD coming soon.
