Including the extended editions of both trilogies.

Warner Bros. plans to re-release two trilogies of the films The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit on 4K Blu-ray. This is reported by 4K Filme.

The company intends to release not only the theatrical but also the extended versions of the popular films based on the books by J.R.R. Tolkien. At the moment, they are available only in 1080p resolution.

Details of the re-release are not yet known. However, Warner Bros. typically adds Dolby Atmos sound and HDR support to its major releases. No one knows whether this will be a full restoration of the films or only an upscale to 4K resolution.

The discs are expected to be released on June 25, 2020.

Earlier, it became known that Amazon will shoot a series in New Zealand based on The Lord of the Rings.
