The Lord of the Rings movies are coming to Netflix in September. Watch The Two Towers and The Return of the King on the first day of the month.
We have some good news to share with fans of The Lord of the Rings!
According to Netflix, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King are coming to Netflix on Sept. 1, 2019. Sounds like the perfect time for a LOTR marathon on the streaming service.
It’s been a while since these movies were available to stream on Netflix. I know the first film, The Fellowship of the Ring, has been on Netflix US in the past, but I’m not positive that the other two films have been on the streaming service in the last few years. The trilogy has been available to stream on Netflix in other countries, but it remains unclear if they’ve ever been on Netflix US at the same time.
Check out the tweet from Netflix’s NX Twitter account below. And, give them a follow if you want to know all the latest fantasy and sci-fi news from the streaming network.
At the time of publishing, it’s unclear if The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring will also be available to stream on Netflix in September. The film pops up on Netflix every few months, so if it doesn’t arrive on the streaming service next month, it will likely be added to the streaming service before the end of the year.
Regardless, it’s still great to see The Two Towers and The Return of the King on Netflix. They are two of the best movies of the last two decades and two of the best fantasy movies ever made. They’ll definitely make the list of the 50 best movies on Netflix when they are added to the streaming service in a few weeks.
It’s really interesting, with these movies coming to the streaming service, to consider what Netflix would look like if they were the ones adapting the world and stories created by J.R.R. Tolkien like Amazon Prime is doing with their upcoming series. Netflix was actually in the running for the series for a while. Instead, Netflix will move forward with The Chronicles of Narnia while Amazon tries goes all-in with this Lord of the Rings series.
