Expect “good news soon” about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3

The final episode of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” streams this Thursday on Amazon Prime Video. This series, which takes place thousands of years before the popular “Lord of the Rings” tale, has received mixed reviews since its debut in 2022; it’s visually stunning (considering the large sum Amazon invested in it), but some ardent “Lord of the Rings” fans have expressed concern over how much it deviates from J.R.R. Tolkien’s original writings. I initially had reservations too, but I’ve grown to appreciate the show as a grand, action-packed interpretation of one of the most well-known fantasy realms. I’m enjoying “The Rings of Power” and hope it continues.
