While the second season of the Amazon Prime Video series set in the Lord of the Rings universe has not yet been revealed, a third season is already considered.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the most popular series on Amazon Prime Video
Fall 2022 was marked by the arrival of the long-awaited series: The Rings of Powertaken from the universe imagined by J. R. R. Tolkien. It was on Amazon Prime Video that this extremely ambitious production was broadcast, taking place approximately three thousand years before the events narrated in The Lord of the Rings. In just one day, this series attracted 25 million people, a record for Amazon's streaming platform. However, many did not appreciate this use of the Lord of the Rings universe and therefore admitted to being disappointed. The enormous budget of this production, and the quality of the images, were not enough to convince spectators around the world.

What's more, The Rings of Power was released almost at the same time as the first Game of Thrones spin-off called House of the Dragon. In other words, two medieval series saw the light of day in fall 2022, and some preferred to focus more on the universe of George RR Martin rather than that broadcast by Amazon. Despite everything, a second season should see the light of day this year, even if no information has been disclosed about it at the moment, but that's not all! The showrunners are already planning for the third season.
They are already working on season 3 of Rings of Power
Filming for the second season has indeed ended, without us having any further information regarding its release this year. In the meantime, showrunners Patrick McKay and JD Payne have already started to establish the broad outlines of the following season, even if nothing has been made official yet. Amazon seems pleased with their work on this series, as evidenced by Vernon Sanders, Head of Television, Amazon MGM Studios:
We started this remarkable journey with JD and Patrick over five and a half years ago and have never looked back. We continue to be amazed by the scope and scale of their vision and the enormous global success of The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power in its record-breaking first season. We can't wait for Prime Video subscribers to experience the epic adventure and dramatic stakes that JD and Patrick continue to build throughout season two and beyond. Naturally, the studio is excited to expand its overall deal with these brilliant creative minds who continue to bring their passion for great storytelling to life.
In short, despite criticism from fans of the JRR Tolkien universe when the first season was released, it seems that Amazon 100% supports the work of the two showrunners. In other words, this series is not about to end!
