Amazon’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is on the verge of being officially renewed for a third season, following the successful conclusion of its second season.
According to reports, Showrunners JD Payne and Patrick McKay have been actively working on the storyline for the upcoming season, fueling fan anticipation for the official confirmation, which is expected this month.
During Amazon MGM Studios’ recent presentation at the Prime Video UK Upfront event in London, the studio showcased “The Rings of Power” and featured cast members such as Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Charlie Vickers, and Sophia Nomvete, signaling Amazon’s strong commitment to the series.
Studio head Jennifer Salke shared that season 2 has already garnered over 55 million viewers, and expectations are high that it will eventually rival the first season’s viewership, which surpassed 150 million.
While Amazon hasn’t specified its viewer metrics, “The Rings of Power” remains a top contender on the platform. The studio’s ambitious plan includes a total of 50 hours of content for the series, with Payne and McKay already assembling a writers’ room for season 3. This signals a long-term commitment to expanding Middle-earth’s Second Age and continuing the exploration of its rich history.
With a massive budget and impressive viewership numbers, the show has become one of Amazon’s flagship productions, and fans can look forward to more epic storytelling, deep character development, and new adventures in future seasons.
