I am honestly without words now that The Fourth Age ( @calltoadventure.bsky.social ) is over.

To craft stories with love from front to back with every person within a story is so special.

To do it with profoundly gifted storytellers is a dream.

The war is over. The fellowship stands victorious. All there is left to tell is the ending of their tale...

The final chapter of The Fourth Age, our three season ode to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, airs on Tuesday 13th January, 12:30pm Pacific.

This was such a beautiful thing to experience. To achieve such high quality storytelling, beauty, love and emotion on a livestream is unreal, and seeing just how much it meant to the cast was so moving. It felt like a privilege to be able to see it in real time. Congratulations to everyone involved.

2025 also saw the culmination of a story two years and three seasons in the making: The Fourth Age.

While there is still one final episode to come in early 2026 - and much more for me to say - for now, I can only express how formative this story has been, both creatively and emotionally.

Annúminas has been saved. The Dark Tree is defeated, and Middle-earth defended. But in a final, desperate act, the Enemy's eye turns toward the Grey Havens. One last battle yet remains...

I am so immeasurably proud of this epic story. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that I would be given the chance to explore Middle-earth, let alone with such a cast as this. I will never take it for granted.

Our tale comes to an end early next year. We will see you then.
The Dark Tree is defeated. Middle-earth has been saved. Our fellowship endures. And after two years and three seasons, the multi-award winning next chapter in Middle-earth's story has come to an end.

Our finale will air early 2026. Expect an announcement soon.

We cannot thank @jaspermillerart.com enough for this latest art piece. It is simply stunning, and brought both Sam and Ed to tears. With us since the beginning of our journey, Jasper has come to define the tone of our story in ways we could not possibly have imagined.

Once again, we thank you.

Yesterday, to close out our mid-season finale, our Loremaster @edwardspence.bsky.social surprised us with some live music. Here it is, edited for your listening pleasure, to see the darkness through.

The first and last great battle of the Fourth Age will soon begin. But as the banners of the Free Peoples fly and alarums sound, Chicory feels an altogether different call: one of home.

The Enemy has been delayed, for now. And the fellowship travel west, exhausted and spent. But as their search for allies begins in earnest, there are those who might not offer their help so freely...

The armies of the Dark Tree are on the move. Middle-earth will fall. And all that stands between the Reunited Kingdom and its ruin is a fellowship of six. But in the face of such shadow, is hope enough...?

This is quite literally one of the coolest art pieces I've ever seen and have the honor of being a part of — I love this fellowship SO MUCH and it's gonna hurt when it all comes to an end.

But look how far we've come. It all comes down to this.

ALSO PEEP THE NEW CLOTHES FOR MY BOY! AAAAAH!
Tomorrow, The Fourth Age comes to an end...

The forces of The Dark Tree descend upon the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor. And all that stand between this ancient evil and the ruination of Middle-earth are six heroes: a fellowship.

Our third and final season begins tomorrow, 12:30pm Pacific.

It's rare that my breath is literally taken away by a piece of artwork, but @jaspermillerart.com has managed to do just that; they have outdone themselves. What a remarkable image, conveying two seasons of growth, beauty and change.

Join us for our tale's end, premiering tomorrow at 12:30pm PT.

Carrying the fate of Middle-earth upon her shoulders - along with the light of Illuin within her staff - this unlikeliest of heroes will soon come to understand that secrets do not stay hidden forever...

I used to dream of this table and telling this story… Now it’ll forever been a core memory.

This hobbit has brought so much warmth to my soul. Diving into a world I’d never imagined I could actually feel apart of, this table makes feeling at home easy. 🤍

Now to practice my Irish accent again. 😅
