THE HOBBIT 4: THE SHADOW OF EREBOR (2026)
Middle-earth calls once more, inviting audiences back to the roots of legend and destiny.
Set years after the Battle of the Five Armies, The Hobbit 4: The Shadow of Erebor opens a new chapter in the history of the Lonely Mountain. Peace has returned to the Dwarven kingdom, trade once again flows through its gates, and Erebor stands restored to its former glory. Yet beneath the mountain’s golden halls, something ancient stirs.
Strange tremors echo through the deep stone corridors, and forgotten whispers resurface—tales of a lingering darkness left behind by Smaug. Though the dragon is long dead, his greed, rage, and corruption may not have vanished with him. When signs emerge that a fragment of Smaug’s malice still festers deep within the mountain, threatening to poison Erebor from the inside, the Dwarves are forced to seek help beyond their realm.
Reluctantly drawn back into adventure, Bilbo Baggins finds himself once again leaving the comfort of the Shire. Older, wiser, and forever changed by his past journey, Bilbo must confront the echoes of a life he thought he had left behind. This time, the danger is quieter, more insidious, and far more personal.
Guided by Gandalf the Grey, and joined by Legolas and Tauriel, Bilbo descends into the forgotten depths of Erebor—where ancient Dwarven secrets, cursed relics, and shadows of dragonfire await. What they uncover could determine not only the future of the mountain, but the fragile balance of power across Middle-earth itself.
This new chapter blends mystery, fantasy, and emotional reflection, exploring the cost of victory and the lingering scars left by great evils. It is a story about legacy, courage, and the truth that even when battles are won, some shadows refuse to fade.
The Hobbit 4: The Shadow of Erebor is a return to wonder, danger, and heart—an epic continuation that honors the past while forging a new legend beneath the mountain.
