Later

Far enough out that we only move the row when a window changes.

  1. In production

    The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 4

    Prime Video / Amazon MGM · Series

    Prime renewed early at Upfronts and is aiming cameras at early 2027. No premiere Friday — the two-year cadence is the only public clock.

  2. Dated

    The Chosen Season 7

    Amazon MGM · theatrical premiere · Series

    Far enough out to ignore until a trailer — except the theatrical premiere date is already on a calendar. Track only when a window or cut changes.

  4. In production

    The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past

    Warner Bros. / New Line · Film

    The second Jackson/Walsh/Boyens picture after Hunt for Gollum. Tentative title, no date — Colbert is on the script, Bombadil is the bait, and a Friday has not been named.

  6. TBA

    The Way of the Wind

    Theatrical (unannounced) · Film

    Malick’s Jesus picture has been in post since 2019. A May 2026 hint from the lead never became a festival slot. The story is still the missing date.
