Summary
- Production for The Rings of Power Season 4 is being considered.
- Amazon has committed to a five-season production for the series.
- New Lord of the Rings films are also in development at Warner Bros.
Prime Video is making plans for a potential fourth season of its hit series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Preproduction for this next installment is being eyed for the fall, with filming anticipated to commence in early 2027. Although a formal greenlight has not yet been issued, Amazon MGM Studios has expressed strong confidence in the show's future and its place within the expansive Tolkien universe.
Amazon has highlighted the series' significant viewership, reporting over 185 million viewers worldwide and stating it is among their highest-performing titles. The initial commitment made in 2017 included a plan for five seasons, suggesting a continued investment in the Second Age narrative. Based on current production timelines, the fourth season could potentially be released in 2028.
This strategic planning for The Rings of Power coincides with a revitalized cinematic presence for Middle-earth. Warner Bros. is actively developing new films based on J.R.R. Tolkien's Third Age narratives. Among these is 'The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum,' directed by Andy Serkis, slated for release on December 17, 2027. Further film projects, including 'The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past' and potential adaptations of 'The Silmarillion,' are also in various stages of development.
