2026 is a great time to be a fan of The Lord of the Rings, with multiple new releases on the horizon in the next few years. The first big project that immediately comes to mind is the new Lord of the Rings movie, The Hunt for Gollum, starring and directed by Andy Serkis. Serkis just announced last week that production was officially underway on The Hunt for Gollum, which should leave the film little trouble hitting its planned December 17, 2027, release date — it’s currently scheduled to open on the same day as Avengers: Secret Wars. Additional cast members for The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum include Anya Taylor-Joy as Seren,** Leo Woodall** as Halvard, Kate Winslet as Marigol, Elijah Wood as Frodo, Lee Pace as Thranduil, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, and Jamie Dornan as Aragorn.
Before *The Hunt for Gollum *arrives in theaters next year, though, there is another Lord of the Rings release coming much sooner. Set to return on November 11 is The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the prequel series set thousands of years before the events of Peter Jackson’s original film trilogy. Prime Video has put out two full seasons of The Rings of Power since its debut in 2022, and the show has already been officially renewed for Season 4, which is expected to air sometime in 2028. This afternoon, Empire Magazine officially released the first look image of Sauron (played by Charlie Vickers) in *The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power *Season 3. Concept art of Gandalf facing off against the fearsome Mûmak has also been released courtesy of artist Carlos Huante.
The scores below reveal your true character. Your highest number is your match. Even a tie tells a story — the Fellowship was never made of simple people.
You carry something heavy — and you carry it alone, even when you don’t have to. You were not born for greatness, and that is precisely why greatness chose you. Your courage is not the roaring, sword-swinging kind; it is quiet, stubborn, and terrifying in its refusal to quit. The Ring weighs on you more than anyone can see, and still you walk toward the fire. That is not weakness. That is the rarest kind of strength there is.
You are, without question, the best of them. Not the most powerful, not the most celebrated — but the most essential. Your loyalty is not a trait; it is a force of nature. You would carry the person you love up the slopes of Mount Doom if it came to that, and we both know you’d do it without being asked. The world needs more people like you, and the world is lucky it has even one.
You were born to lead, and you have spent years running from it. The crown is yours by right, but you know better than anyone that right means nothing without the will and the worthiness to back it up. You are tempered by loss, shaped by long roads, and defined by a code of honour you hold to even when no one is watching. When you finally step forward, the world shifts. Because it was always waiting for you.
You have seen more than you let on, and you say less than you know — which is exactly as it should be. You are a catalyst: you do not fight the battles yourself, you ignite the people who can. Your wisdom comes not from books but from an age of watching what happens when it is ignored. You arrive precisely when you mean to, and your presence alone changes what is possible. A wizard is never late.
Graceful, perceptive, and almost preternaturally calm under pressure — you see things others miss and act before others react. You do not need to make a scene to be remarkable; your presence speaks for itself. You are loyal to those you choose to stand beside, and that choice is not made lightly. You have lived long enough to know that the most beautiful things in this world are also the most fragile, and that is why you fight to protect them.
You are loud, proud, and absolutely formidable — and beneath all of that is one of the most fiercely loyal hearts in Middle-earth. You don’t do anything by half measures. Your friendships are forged like iron, your grudges run as deep as mines, and your courage in battle is the kind that makes legends. You came into this fellowship suspicious of everyone and ended it willing to die for an elf. That is not a small thing. That is everything.
You think in centuries and act in absolutes. Order, dominion, control — not because you are cruel by nature, but because you have decided that the world left to itself always falls apart, and you are the only one with the vision and the will to hold it together. You were not always this. Something was lost, or taken, or betrayed, and the version of you that stands now is the answer to that wound. The tragedy is that you’re not entirely wrong — just entirely too far gone to course-correct.
You are a study in contradiction — pitiable and dangerous, cunning and broken, capable of both cruelty and something that once resembled love. You are defined by loss: of innocence, of self, of the one thing that gave your existence meaning. Two voices war inside you constantly, and the tragedy is that the better one sometimes wins, just not often enough, and never at the right moment. You are a warning, yes — but also a mirror. We are all a little Gollum, given the right ring and enough time.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is certainly one of the most expensive TV shows ever made. It’s estimated that the first two seasons alone have already cost Prime Video more than $1 billion, with the show seemingly receiving a blank check for whatever it needs to get across the finish line. Prime Video is also responsible for another of the most expensive shows in TV history, Citadel, the spy thriller starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas that returned for Season 2 earlier this year.
Check out the first two seasons of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Prime Video and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 3.
