Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins

New Lord Of The Rings Movies In Development, First Eyeing 2026 Release

Warner Bros. has a new Lord of the Rings movie in the works, and it already has a tentative release window. Adapting J. R. R. Tolkien’s beloved fantasy novel series, Peter Jackson’s acclaimed Lord of the Rings trilogy was released from 2001 to 2003. The filmmaker would subsequently return to the world of Middle-earth with his more divisive Hobbit trilogy in the 2010s. Since then, new projects in the franchise have included The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Prime Video and an upcoming anime movie, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.
