Lord of the Rings – The Rings of Power has become one of the most anticipated shows on Amazon Prime Video this past year. Opening with mixed reactions from critics and audiences alike, its debut reached over 25 million viewers within its inaugural episode alone!
The first season established the premise of the fantasy series, and focused on the rings. Amazon ordered a second season in 2019 that will continue the storyline. The Rings of Power Season 2 is here.
The Rings of Power Season 2 Release Date
Amazon has yet to announce the official release date of the second season. It is anticipated to premiere in 2024. Fans will have to wait about a full year to watch the next adventures of Middle Earth’s Second Age. Filming for season 2 is taking place in the UK.
Patrick McKay, the showrunner, revealed in October 2022 that production team would begin work on Season 5, beginning by “a couple of years”, with release anticipated around 2024. Furthermore, producers noted it will take at least five seasons to tell all parts of its narrative so viewers may need to wait quite awhile until its premiere airing date.
They knew that from the start, this was the size of canvas… This was a large story with a beginning, middle and an end. Some things from the first season don’t really pay off until the fifth season. “We know exactly what the final shot will be of our last episode,” revealed showrunner JDPayne.
The Rings of Power Season 2 Storyline
The next season will focus on the rise of Sauron – the iconic villain from the franchise. Payne teased earlier how the storyline would be explored in season two, saying, “Even though Sauron had a hand in the science of making the rings, [Galadriel] gives the go-ahead for the rings to be made anyway.”
She also bears some responsibility. ‘I empowered Dark Lord. I saved his live on a raft. I saw him rise from obscurity and become the leader of an army. That’s quite a feat. She has a lot to deal with. “I think she will have to deal with these issues and determine how they impact her relationships,” he said.
