Return of the King - but for how long, Netflix?

– were added in September 2019 before leaving in March 2020. Those departures coincided with HBO Max's official launch, with the streaming platform being released into the world in May 2020.

Given the movies' formerly brief stints on Netflix, it'll be interesting to see how long all three films will stick around for. Obtaining the rights for any third-party content is an expensive endeavor for any streaming company, so it's unclear how long Jackson's Lord of the Rings flicks will remain on Netflix.

It's possible that the streaming giant agreed a temporary deal with WBD to add the films to its back catalog, with the view to attracting new subscribers., so maybe this is its way of enticing new customers to purchase their own accounts. However, considering Netflix added 7.66 million new subscribers to its userbase in Q4 2022, it's not struggling to convince people to sign up.

Regardless, based on the brevity of their previous Netflix outings, we'd advise you to stream The Lord of the Rings film trilogy once February 1 rolls around. Who knows how long they'll be available for, so you're best watching them as soon as possible.
