Good news for Tolkien-heads: more Rings Of Power are being forged. Prime Video’s Lord Of The Rings series has been a significant undertaking for the streamer in recent years, exploring the Second Age of Middle-earth during Sauron’s initial rise. And ahead of Season 3 arriving later in 2026, it seems things are going swimmingly in the Rings Of Power camp, with Season 4 already in development.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, plans are a-hairy-foot for Season 4 of The Rings Of Power, and it’s expected to start rolling cameras in early 2027. While the season has not officially been greenlit, wheels are in motion to begin pre-production before the end of this year. From the beginning, showrunners J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay were vocal about having a five-season plan for the show, while Prime Video has previously touted positive streaming numbers for the series.
Stay tuned for the official greenlight on Season 4 – and we’ll see in Season 3 where all the assembled Elves, Orcs, Harfoots and more end up; the new episodes are set to shift the timeline forward by several years. Season 3 starts streaming on Prime Video from 11 November.
