The Ring / Ringu

edited 2026-06-15

A complete watch and reading order for The Ring / Ringu — Koji Suzuki's six-novel series (Ring through Tide), the Japanese film line and its Rasen-vs-Ring 2 canon fork, the 1995 and 1999 Japanese TV dramas, the Korean remake The Ring Virus, the American Samara films, and the Sadako vs. Kayako crossover. Organized by continuity, since these national canons do not share a single timeline.
