‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’: Amazon Studios hints at second installment of hit series

By Smith On Dec 21, 2022

Vernon Sanders, Amazon Studios’s Head of Television, recently in conversation with Collider, talked about the second season of ‘The Ring of Power’. He admitted that the production of the second season started in the month of October 2021. This, therefore, confirms that the second season has been given green light and is a possibility.

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ was a great triumph for Prime Video as it was its top original programme in every category. The show grabbed more Prime Video members than any prior programme. The series set audience records, with 25 million viewers on the first day and 100 million viewers by the finale.

With a premiere that ranked first on Nielsen’s streaming chart and a conclusion that trended in 27 countries on Twitter for 426 hours, it’s no surprise that fans are eager for Season 2.

Dates revealed seem to be less specific as Sanders stated that Season 2 will be “more unlikely than likely” to premiere in 2023, implying that audience will have to wait until 2024 to see the latest installment.

With five seasons of ‘The Rings of Power’ planned, Sanders understands the need to stay focused and not get carried away. Having said that, he did affirm that Season 2 will be on Prime Video faster than Season 1.

Things To Know Before You Binge ‘The Rings Of Power’

The return of dragons on the small screen has been a huge hit in 2022, but now it’s time for the return of the elves and dwarves. So get ready for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power! But before you grab your popcorn and binge the series, here are a few things you should know.

Elves & Dwarves Return!

Hold Your Dragons!

The ambitious series was years-in-the-making and also very expensive salvo that will go head-to-head with another costly streaming fantasy epic: HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ spinoff ‘House of the Dragon’, which recently became the most-watched series premiere in HBO history.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s Grandson Was A Creative Consultant

The series is based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s writings and asides about Middle-earth’s Second Age, which preceded the Third Age’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Hobbit’ films and books. Tolkien’s grandson, Simon Tolkien, was a creative consultant.

New Episodes Every Friday!

Amazon Prime Video will debut both the first two ‘The Rings of Power’ episodes on Friday. After that, the remaining six episodes arrive weekly on Friday. The hour-long episodes are stuffed with action and humor.

Sanders added that the studio is dedicated to the concept of the tale and is laying the framework for Season 3. However, they are not making official, premature pronouncements about the same.

The Rings of Power, like any show set in a mythical environment, relies largely on the abilities of innumerable VFX artists to bring the story to life. When asked how the studio was coping with industry-wide VFX challenges, particularly in terms of releasing each season on time, Sanders said: “Yeah, it’s a good question. We were incredibly fortunate that Ron Ames [VFX producer] came aboard for the show to help us.”

Season 1 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is now available on Prime Video.
