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

QUESTION: How many other TV shows or Movies purchased on VUDU also upgrade?
Others having success with VUDU upgrade from HD to UHD?
Maybe u already own it in the highest possible resolution?
For people that think this feature never existed:
The original website was http://watch.vudu.com/tv/season-offers/
Vudu changed the website often over the years, it's been archived by a dev of theirs: http://melonheadstudio
(Sounds weird 2014 is almost a decade ago 😲 geez)
Airs in the US. on Nov.4 on BBC America and streams on AMC+

That was while Walmart owned Vudu & was trying to grow the site. Fandango's a bunch of bananas who can't get the Tuesday sales posted right.
Again, given the feedback in this little sampling, not advertising these perks may be to Vudu's cost benefit. Less having to replace these titles for free. More money coming in if unwitting customers pay for whatever replacements the system fails to credit. A good fallback position if someone does hold their feet to the fire since the very well buried promotional information does not mentioning anything about UHD releases currently.
With so many hits on this thread it may turn out to be as much a public service announcement as anything .
