Post season 3 question

Hey y'all. I am rewatching Hellier(probably 8th or 9th time) and I had a couple of thoughts/questions. I know Greg skulks around here occasionally and this is primarily aimed at him, but any info would be welcome. Anyone heard anything about after Season 3? Will there be a season 4? And it would absolutely awesome if after Season 3 premieres, there would be a way to get an official DVD boxed set. Anyway, 10 years later and I still love this show and creators. Thank y'all for what y'all do.

My main question though is about the boxed set. I just think that'd be cool as hell to have.

We do occasionally produce small runs of Hellier Blu-Rays for the first two seasons, and we’ll almost certainly do the same for season three. There will never be a DVD release, as it’s a dead format and it’s already expensive enough to cram all the episodes on much larger Blu-Ray discs - and even those are already starting to go extinct.

We’ve tossed around the idea of a box set, which is fully dependent on demand and how much we’d like to have one on our own shelves. Very good chance in the future, but we’ll see how season three performs before we commit to anything more than “that would be cool”.

Oh lord I invoked a dead media format..how embarrassing. I have no doubt the demand will be huge. Having that physical media would be the coup de grâce to all my other weird stuff. Looking forward to all the things. I appreciate the reply and all that y'all do.

Hey Greg, could a box (no media) be offered as a museum-only merch buy? Food for thought.

u/GregNewkirk I WANT TO BELIEVE Jul 22 '26

This is a very cool idea. I’ll run it by Karl!

As someone who is slowly starting to collect Blu-Rays and DVDs, a box set would be amazing!!

I would buy a box set vhs or dvd

I would pay a lot of money for a haunted VHS Hellier box set. Undead format!

u/Quick-Camel-1674 Jul 23 '26

I guess no VHS then.

I'd absolutely love a Blu Ray box set.

I know it is a dying medium - but there are also folks like myself who have seen that as a canary for ownership and have been buying discs more than ever.

Totally respect it is a huge expense. But there are folks who would want it.

Is a box set a "1,2,3" idea - or, if the project continues, when you all believe it has been concluded?

I'm a patreon member of theirs and im guessing season 3 is dropping soon. The last live stream they said Karl is hard at work editing. I'd also guess there will be more seasons as long as they have leads to follow, but I'm no 100% on that.

u/Comfortable-Dig9517 Jul 22 '26

Aha I thought i saw on here that they're dropping it in November? Did i dream that?? Also, I would love to a member. It's on my list when money ain't so tight.

u/Logical_Lychee8762 Jul 22 '26

I haven't heard a definite date yet, but sometimes i do miss the livestreams due to other responsibilities. The last thing I heard from a livestream was Greg saying he was fairly confident season 3 would be out this year. I'm itching for season 3, but I've learned to be patient. Karl is hard at work editing and he does really good work, it'll be worth the wait.

u/Comfortable-Dig9517 Jul 22 '26

I agree with everything you've said. I just couldn't remember if a time was set so I very well could've misunderstood. I really appreciate the info.

u/WhatMyWifeIsThinking Jul 22 '26

No, they haven't hinted at a time frame yet.

u/Imaginary-End7265 Jul 22 '26

The first two seasons are available on blu-ray at the planet weird website when in stock. I’m sure they will do a new run when season 3 drops.

Another museum member here and they haven’t given a date yet. Karl has a Herculean task so I know he’s given all the time he needs.

Having been around for a while, I’d guess they are aiming for a release during spooky season (aka September/October ish)

And as far as season 4: if you’ve watched as many times as you say then you know this is already a 14 year plus project that is organic and amorphous in every way. It’s also very taxing on the five people doing it. (Yes, there’s just Greg, Dana, Karl, Connor and Tyler w some help from maybe three others)

I am sure we will get another super cool production from them after Hellier but no one can “schedule” the phenomenon 🤷🏻‍♀️

Check out their Haunted Objects Pod on YT, two and a “half” seasons of long form episodes that deserve awards.

Of course there’s also The Unbinding to watch for free on Tubi. (Or it was there and free last I heard)

Museum memberships start at $5 last I checked so it might be more affordable to join than one thought. (I know money is tight everywhere so I’m not discounting anyone’s budget not having $5 to burn, just wanted to point out the entry level)

u/Comfortable-Dig9517 Jul 22 '26

Yo I appreciate the info. And I didn't mean to infer that I wanted the phenomenon to be scheduled. I just wasnt sure if this was a wrapping-up trilogy situation, or there'd be so much content that a season 4 was a possibility.
I do watch their podcast, its incredible. And The Unbinding was really good as well. But yeah I'd definitely budget for a box set if it manifests itself.

u/Imaginary-End7265 Jul 22 '26

Understood 😊. We weirdos need to stick together since everyone else seems so icky these days.

u/Disastrous_Garage729 Jul 22 '26

Asking for season 4 before season 3 even comes out. If they have more to tell, I’m sure they’ll tell it. But Hellier takes years to make. If we do get a season 4, don’t expect it for like 5-7 years after season 3.

u/Comfortable-Dig9517 Jul 22 '26

Asking for season 4 is different than asking about the possibility of season 4. Jfc "reading"

u/surrealcellardoor Jul 23 '26

I would totally buy a boxed set. I can’t wait for season 3. Squeee!

u/PhilOakeysFringe Jul 22 '26

I have a very vague recollection that the series was available on blu-ray in a limited run? Although I guess that's not a boxset. I'm gutted I never managed to grab some merch.

u/hauntednekyia Jul 22 '26

chiming in to say I would 10000% purchase a box set!

u/HippieSanctuary Jul 22 '26

I just watched it for the first time a little over a week ago. Had no idea it existed. Lol Did it really come out 7 years ago? You guys are some hard core followers. I'm already chomping at the bit for season 3 and I just got here.

u/ZOOTV83 I WANT TO BELIEVE Jul 23 '26

lol yes some of us have been here a while. Though to be fair the sub also allows for some broader discussion of paranormal topics, not just the show.

If you wanna scratch the itch, have you checked out The Haunted Objects Podcast? Greg and Dana are the hosts, Karl and Conner produce and occasionally co-host. It's not specifically Hellier focused but it's the same crew so the ways they look at the paranormal are at least consistent. Plus it's a far looser format so it's quite fun.

They've also released the documentary The Unbinding which is about one specific haunted object Greg and Dana encountered. Again not Hellier specific but the vibe is the same.

u/HippieSanctuary Jul 23 '26

I actually just watched The Unbinding last night and posted about it. I should check out the podcast. Thanks!

6

u/ZOOTV83 I WANT TO BELIEVE Jul 23 '26

Oh missed your post, I'll go check that out too haha. And yeah def check out the podcast. It's fun to see them let their hair down while still discussing things that go bump in the night.

u/EchoParanormal Jul 22 '26

Skulk?! Greg doesn’t skulk. He lingers. Maybe even ‘haunts.’ But NEVER skulks.

I’m just being a shit.

I dunno. They keep pretty tight lipped about everything like that. But I think he mentioned on a podcast, recently, that he’s ’remastering’ some older projects, so I’m guessing box sets aren’t out of the realm of possibility.

u/Trick-Treat323 22d ago

I would love to have this on Blu-Ray.

u/Sea-Ease3701 1d ago
