rerelease
Bring back again
To rerelease something is to release it again—typically a film, album, or book brought back to market after its initial run.
A rerelease often includes new features, restored footage, or updated packaging: The studio rereleased the classic with a remastered soundtrack.
As a noun, it refers to the product itself: The anniversary rerelease includes bonus tracks.
