It may be possible to "purchase" a free upgrade
A - if you've already purchased the series from Vudu in a lower res
- - AND - -
B - if it was originally purchased individually (vs in a bundle).
Going through the checkout process should result in $0.00 due if you are eligible for the free upgrade to 4K/UHD.
It's also possible to get a discount for the original purchase price if you originally purchased your series individually, but for less than the current sale of $9.99. ymmv
To be kind, Vudu's webpage is glitchy. The app's no better & subject to the Google Pay thing. So it might help to share info. Thanks
DID IT OR DIDN'T IT WORK FOR YOU USING THE WEBSITE (w/which browser) OR THE APP?

It's also possible to be charged for the difference if you originally paid less than the current price.
It's supposed to be a standardly available perk when a better resolution gets offered for certain TV series. But Vudu doesn't broadcast it much & isn't very great about applying it because, well ...Vudu.
I basically wanted to let people know about these upgrades because I don't know of any new release list & these were too good to miss.
But given the feedback, the upgrade policy isn't necessarily common knowledge. And like everything Vudu, isn't necessarily getting applied correctly. So it looks like it was worth posting for a few reasons.

This is old news on how Vudu offers their upgrades on TV seasons. This works on any TV show season when a higher resolution is available for something u bought, doesn't have to be bbc. This was way more noticable back when older TV shows were available only in SD and then later was available in HDX leading to all free upgrades.
So it's a "free" upgrade if u bought it for the same price as it is now. If u got it on sale in the past then u would have to wait for it to be on sale again to get the free upgrade or pay the difference if u don't wanna wait.
The "season complete" feature is pretty interesting too though it's hardly advertised anymore by vudu either

Mine showed up as 9.99 but when at checkout it was 0.
The upgrade isn't a glitch or even a deal. As far as I know, it's supposed to be SOP. It might be worth complaining to Vudu.
