Vagrant Queen

Vagrant Queen is a 2020 live-action science-fiction adventure television series produced by SyFy and is based on the comic book of the same name. It premiered on March 27, 2020 and ran for one season.

Synopsis
Former child queen Elida has been on the run since her mother was shot and killed by Commander Lazaro, the man responsible for bringing down their empire. A highly skilled fighter, Elida has been living in hiding and making ends meet as a scavenger while the unhinged Lazaro obsesses over tracking her down. When Elida's old frenemy, Isaac, shows up with news that her mother is still alive, it takes the help of the optimistic mechanic Amae, to escape Lazaro's army and begin the rescue mission across a dangerous galaxy.

To save her mother the team must break into the heavily guarded region of space where Elida once ruled, but an encounter with a group loyal to her former throne forces Elida to face her past as a child queen. Cannibalistic aliens, dangerous planets, shootouts, karaoke, and parking tickets complicate the journey further, and they don't have long before the increasingly deranged Lazaro catches up to them.

Home Media
The series was released on Blu-ray and DVD by Dazzler Media on July 13, 2020 in versions encoded for Region 2 (DVD) and Region B/2 (Blu-ray) playback. In late 2020, the series was released in a 4 DVD set for the French market (region coding not known) and in a new English version by a company called Roadshow for Region 4 (DVD) and Region B/2 (Blu-ray).

See Wikipedia for more information on region codes for DVD and Blu-ray to see which countries are covered by each code. Watching either version on a video player or on a computer not within those areas requires going through steps such as changing the region playback setting, which often has a limited number of times it can be performed.
