Extended version

An "extended version" refers to a version of a movie, show, or audio recording that includes additional content not found in the original release. This often involves extra scenes, extended dialogue, or behind-the-scenes material, providing a more comprehensive experience. Extended versions are usually released to give fans more insight or detail, often as special editions or home video releases. They differ from director’s cuts or remakes by adding more footage to enhance or deepen the original story, making the viewing experience richer without changing the core content.
