Prime Video‘s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is already looking ahead to a fourth season.

With the show’s third season set to premiere in November, the show’s UK-based production is eyeing a schedule that includes preproduction on a fourth season this fall, with shooting to begin in early 2027.

To be clear, season four is not officially greenlit, but Prime Video has continued to be very bullish about continuing its piece of The Lord of the Rings franchise, which is based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s Second Age appendices.

Amazon says the Amazon MGM Studios-produced series has attracted over 185 million viewers worldwide and “is one of the highest performing and most-viewed titles ever on Prime Video.” The first season marked the largest launch of any Prime Video series ever. The second season also performed well, debuting atop Nielsen’s Streaming Top 10 chart in 2024.
