Season 2 of Rings of Power is long over. Perhaps for the better, if we’re to believe the statements of one of its directors, Charlotte Brandstrom, who announces a series with a darker tone.

Meanwhile, the series’ showrunners have reached a new deal with Amazon MGM Studios, potentially a positive sign for the series’ future. Patrick McKay and JD Payne have signed a three-year deal that also launches their own production company, 10:40 PM Productions.

Rings of Power Season 2 has wrapped filming and will be released later this year. Although a third season has not yet been officially ordered and the writers’ room has yet to open its doors, work has begun on an initial story outline.
