Lord of the Rings Officially Returns in November with 3 Releases

Lord of the Rings returns to physical media in November, offering fans three ways to own a piece of Middle-earth. Amazon MGM Studios and Alliance Home Entertainment have announced DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD releases for the first two seasons of The Rings of Power. Bonus behind-the-scenes content accompanies each set, giving collectors further options later in the year.

In December, the series will debut Amazon-exclusive 4K Ultra HD gift sets, complete with Steelbook packaging and collectible art cards. These releases coincide with the premiere of season 3 on Prime Video, just days after the physical editions hit shelves. Season 1 premiered on September 2022, followed by season 2 in August 2024.

The series has garnered over 185 million viewers worldwide. Season 3 will delve deeper into Middle-earth's war against Sauron, exploring the story of Elrond and his twin brother Elros. The series will also introduce Rivendell, a significant location from Tolkien's world. Season 3 premieres on November 11, with physical editions available on November 3 and the Amazon 4K Steelbook set releasing on December 1.
