What is and isn’t on Netflix at any given time can be tough to suss out. The Lord of the Rings trilogy hasn’t been available on the popular streaming service for a couple of years now, but rejoice, Netflix subscribers, for the return of the king is imminent.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy, including The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, returns to Netflix on February 1, the streaming service announced on Twitter today.
“Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”

All three films have been on Netflix at various times, though reportedly never at the same time. The films have been off the service completely since March 2020–just a couple of months before they appeared on the then-new HBO Max streaming service. Lord of the Rings distributor New Line Cinema is a Warner Bros. Discovery studio, so it made sense that they would want one of their very biggest film series on the service for its debut.
