Mary Poppins Returns Set for March Home Video Release

After a triumphant box-office run and a handful of Oscar nominations, Mary Poppins Returns will arrive into homes instantly on Digital and Movies Anywhere starting on March 12 and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD March 19.

Set in 1930s Depression-era London (the time period of the original novels), Mary Poppins Returns stars Emily Blunt as the eponymous nanny, and is drawn from the wealth of material in P.L. Travers’ additional seven books. After the enigmatic nanny Mary Poppins re-enters the lives of the Banks family, and with the help of optimistic street lamplighter Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda), she uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives.

As expected, the bonus materials will let viewers explore the making of Mary Poppins Returns, going behind the scenes with the star-studded cast and crew who collaborated to make even the impossible possible.
