Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power returns audiences to the Second Age of Middle-earth, an era when kingdoms flourished, heroes emerged and the shadow of Sauron began to spread across the world.

Set thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the series follows an ensemble cast of familiar and original characters as they confront the long-feared return of evil. From the towering peaks of the Misty Mountains and the Elven realm of Lindon to the island kingdom of Númenor and the farthest reaches of Middle-earth, the story explores the rise and fall of powerful civilisations while charting the destinies of those determined to resist the darkness.

Combining sweeping landscapes, large-scale battles and richly detailed world-building, the series expands on J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendary mythology, offering a cinematic television experience that continues to attract audiences around the world.

Since its debut, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has become one of Prime Video’s biggest original productions. Both seasons have earned Certified Fresh status on Rotten Tomatoes, while the first season remains the platform’s largest television premiere by viewership. Season Two ranks among Prime Video’s five most-watched returning series and debuted as the top original series on Nielsen’s Streaming Top 10 chart, remaining in the top four throughout its run.

The fantasy drama has attracted more than 185 million viewers globally and continues to be one of Prime Video’s strongest drivers of new memberships, highlighting the enduring appeal of Tolkien’s world more than 70 years after it was first introduced to readers.

With its blend of spectacle, mythology and character-driven storytelling, The Rings of Power continues to build on one of fantasy’s most enduring legacies while expanding the world of Middle-earth for a new generation of viewers.
