Originally, the Lord of the Rings series was planned for five seasons. Titled The Rings of Power, the program takes the form of a distant prequel to the famous trilogy, as it takes place approximately 2,000 years before the adventures of The Fellowship of the Ring.
Despite the record budget, which was spent around 500 million dollars per season, the series did not have the expected success. Changes in the chronology of the novels were particularly criticized by fans of JRR Tolkien. The second season of Rings of Power ended its broadcast on October 3rd, and since then Prime Video has not released any news about a potential season 3.
But fans can rest assured, there are no plans to cancel Rings of Power. About it, the creators of the program, Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne told him ScreenRant is working on writing season 3, so it is assumed that an official renewal of the series is imminent. The ball is in Prime Video’s court…
What do the next seasons of Rings of Power have in store?
The first two seasons of Rings of Power introduced the main characters, notably the elves Galadriel and Elrond, the dwarf prince Durin IV, and the necromancer Sauron. The identity of the character known as the Unknown was also revealed in the second season finale.
The Elf and Dwarf Rings of Power were forged by the elf Celebrimbor. Thus, the following seasons will feature the nine rings of men, as well as one ring created by Sauron himself. The fall of Numenor and the rise and fall of Sauron are some of the events that fans can look forward to in the next three seasons.
Remember that the series will soon compete with the release of new Lord of the Rings movies. In addition to the animated feature film War of Rohirrim (now in cinemas), new installments in the saga – notably the Gollum and Gandalf spin-offs – will begin filming soon, under the supervision of Peter Jackson.
The first two seasons of Rings of Power are now available exclusively on Prime Video.
