extended edition
More content included
An extended edition is a version of a film, book, or other work that includes additional material not present in the original release.
The term typically applies to movies where deleted scenes have been restored: The extended edition adds forty minutes of footage.
Extended editions appeal to fans wanting more content, though the additions aren't always improvements.
In publishing, an extended edition may include new chapters, appendices, or supplementary material.
