The Hobbit Trilogy Leaving HBO Max

There’s some good news and some bad news about the current state of The Lord of the Rings on the HBO Max streaming service. Let’s get the bad news out of the way first: Three of the franchise’s six films are going to be leaving HBO Max in April. The good news is that those three movies aren’t part the original Lord of the Rings trilogy, which everyone would be incredibly disappointed to see leave the streaming service.

All three films in Peter Jackson’s prequel trilogy, The Hobbit, will be exiting HBO Max, however. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies are all leaving the streaming service, with their last day of availability set for April 30th.

This will be disappointing for some, but it likely won’t be a permanent move. WarnerMedia owns the rights to all of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings films, so the chances of the trilogy returning to the service are pretty high.

Below, you can check out the complete list of HBO Max movies joining The Hobbit on the way out on April 30th:
