When Are New Lord of the Rings Movies Coming Out?

Alongside The Rings of Power Season 3, Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema are developing multiple new Lord of the Rings movies. This initiative follows Embracer Group's acquisition of Middle-earth Enterprises in 2022, which included the film and game rights to both Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The first film from this collaboration, The War of the Rohirrim, was released in late 2024. The next anticipated movie, The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, is slated for a 2026 release. Beyond the silver screen, fans can look forward to a new cozy game, Tales of the Shire, set to launch in March.
