Jim Carrey Classic The Cable Guy Coming to 4K Ultra HD Steelbook

What better way to celebrate an anniversary than with a shiny new physical media release? First released in 1996, Ben Stiller ’s ahead-of-its-time dark comedy The Cable Guy is getting a 4K Ultra HD Steelbook edition, meaning you’ll get to watch Jim Carrey torment Matthew Broderick in the best possible picture and sound.

Here’s the official synopsis, courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment:

Jim Carrey is Chip Douglas, cable installer. Raised on television sitcoms, he wants life to look just like My Three Sons. And when he meets single guy Steven Kovacs (Matthew Broderick), he sees his chance for some serious male bonding. But Chip’s idea of friendship, which includes physical assault, a game of ‘Porno Password’ and a medieval joust, may be hazardous to Steven’s health. In Chip’s own immortal words, “I can be your best friend…or your worst enemy.” Directed by Ben Stiller (Tropic Thunder, Zoolander), and co-starring Leslie Mann, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson.

In addition to the new 4K Ultra HD picture and Dolby Vision sound, the Steelbook release also includes an audio commentary with Ben Stiller, Judd Apatow, and Jim Carrey, extended and deleted scenes, a gag reel, rehearsal footage, and Jerry Cantrell’s music video for “Leave Me Alone.” Additionally, the release features something new for the anniversary: a conversation with Ben Stiller and Matthew Broderick recorded during the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival.

The Cable Guy is available for pre-order now via Amazon , and will be officially released on October 6th, 2026. Feeling Carrey completist? A 4K Steelbook of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is also available now .
