As a seasoned gamer and lover of all things fantasy, I must say that “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” has once again captured my heart with its captivating narrative and immersive world-building. Having grown up on Tolkien’s works and countless iterations since, I can confidently assert that this show stands tall among them.
Amazon’s Prime Video reported that the second season of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” achieved a new record-breaking milestone in its viewership.
The second season of the Middle-earth television show started not long ago, carrying on with the narrative of the Second Age while Sauron’s influence expands.
In a recent communication to Amazon, Jennifer Salke, head of MGM studios, announced that the new episodes have drawn in over 40 million viewers since their premiere on August 29. Notably, Rings of Power season 2 ranks among the top four most-watched TV series in Amazon’s history.

She also mentioned that since early August, a significant number, approximately tens of millions, have viewed Season 1. Moreover, she pointed out that a notable percentage of these viewers originate from countries outside the United States.
However, the metrics on how Prime Video determines viewers remain unclear.

In 2022, the series titled “Rings of Power” made a grand entrance, with the streaming platform announcing it as their biggest premiere ever, having been viewed by approximately 25 million viewers on the very day of its launch.
According to Digital Spy’s review on The Rings of Power Season 2, if you enjoyed the initial season, you will find even more of what you loved in this new installment.
Progressing further, the second season has likewise prepared itself for deeper character growth and tighter narrative structure, noticeably in the exploration of its main themes and plot.
In case you missed it, the second season of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is now available for streaming on Amazon’s Prime Video, with fresh episodes airing every Friday.
