They're listed by the dates of their release, but if you want to watch the events in the order in which they happened, there's a chronological order at the end.Here's the press release, which contains pricing and details on the extended edition:įans of Middle-earth will have the opportunity to gain a broader experience of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, from Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson, when the epic fantasy adventure is released as an Extended Edition on Digital Download October 22nd and on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray and DVD on November 5th from Warner Bros. When you go there, here's how to watch all of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies in order. Otherwise it's off to rent them at Amazon Prime Video, where The Rings of Power lives. All of them can be found on HBO Max if you subscribe, and, for now at least, the Lord of the Rings movies are on Netflix. But if you're looking to re-immerse yourself in the lore of the world, including what the deal is with all those rings, the movies are an excellent way to jog your memory (or introduce you for the first time). The new TV series also takes place before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, so it doesn't feature the same actors and doesn't include many of the characters audiences know and love from the films. Sadly, Jackson is not involved in The Rings of Power. He even won a couple of Oscars for doing so.
Though lots of filmmakers have adapted Tolkien's work over the years (shout out to the trippy, 1978 animated Ralph Bakshi Lord of the Rings), none have done so as completely as Peter Jackson, who directed six movies across two trilogies dedicated to the goings-on in Middle-earth.
Tolkien Middle-earth refresher course.Īnd while you could read the entire Lord of the Rings book series, The Hobbit novel and all those appendices, on which The Rings of Power is based, it might be faster just to watch the movies. Wait, how many rings now? Wasn't it just the One Ring to Rule Them All? Time for a J.R.R. If you watched Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, you should know it takes place in the Second Age of Middle-earth, when the 19 rings were forged and given to elves, dwarves and humans.
