Rings of Power showrunner says the Prime Video show is “in conversation” withThe Hunt for Gollum

Patrick McKay, showrunner of *The Rings of Power*, says the Prime Video series and the upcoming film *The Hunt for Gollum* are “in conversation” with one another. He welcomed the film as another interpretation of Middle-earth, despite the stories being set thousands of years apart.

*The Rings of Power* is set in the Second Age, where its third season follows Sauron forging the One Ring. *The Hunt for Gollum* takes place in the Third Age, between *The Hobbit* and *The Lord of the Rings*: Gandalf sends a younger Aragorn to find Gollum before he can reveal information about the Ring to Sauron. Season three is due on Prime Video on 11 November 2026, with its first four episodes.
