In 2018 we learned thisAmazon Studies would have developed a series on the subject The Lord of the Ringsthe famous work of JR R Tolkien, of which Peter Jackson proposed a trilogy (2001-2003). The studio had recovered the rights in 2017 for 250 million dollars and therefore intended to make a profit. This is how a series was developed that adapts the events of the Second Age. At the time, there was talk of an extremely ambitious project whose cost could reach 500 million dollars.

Four years later, we finally discovered it on Prime Video The Rings of PowerA first season of eight episodes and whose budget would have preferred to be $465 millionwhich remains disconcerting. The streaming service has invested resources and has not regretted it since the series has broken a record by attracting more than 25 million viewers worldwide on the first day. Enough to confirm the producers in their ambition and desire to develop a show over several seasons. Season 2 is also getting ready to launch on Prime Video on August 29th.

For latecomers, it would therefore be a good idea to watch the first season as quickly as possible before discovering the second chapter. The good news is that it is possible, free, thanks to Samsung TV Plus. It offers a free streaming platform, available on Samsung TVs and Galaxy devices The Rings of Power season 1 from August 15. All eight episodes are available there, until August 28thwithout having to pay anything.
