There are many uncertainties in this world, but apparently the future of Prime Video The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power I may not be one of them.
According to a source who spoke with Ankler’s Lesley GoldbergAmazon CEO Jeff Bezos calls the program a “magical halo.” As such, it is “career-protected” and will likely finish the five-season arc that Amazon released when it first launched. secured the rights. Getting those rights and doing the show has been quite expensive for the company, and the first two seasons had a two-year release gap. As of this writing, the show’s third season does not have a firm date beyond “sometime in 2026,” and some have generally wondered how long there will be to live. Rings of power had left in him.
Goldberg’s report also mentions a trade-off for this five-season plan: for Rings of power to live on, a planned spin-off has been scrapped. Top Prime Video shows like the boys and Invincible have become little franchises in themselves, and it makes sense that the streamer would want to repeat that for the remaining big fantasy series. While Amazon may not be able to build on Middle-earth after the show ends, Warner Bros. is determined to keep the lord of the Rings Train running with two new movies: a Gollum prequeland an interquel that also gather the hobbits after the events of The return of the king.
