More than five years after Amazon struck a deal with the Tolkien Estate to bring The Lord of the Rings to the small screens, the first season of their most ambitious undertaking to date, The Rings of Power, finally premiered on Prime Video over the past few weeks and invited audiences back to the rolling hills of Middle-earth for yet another adventure, this time set in the Second Age.
Despite all its shortcomings, especially when stacked up against Peter Jackson’s timeless cinematic masterpiece, the show managed to end things on a high note, delivering a finale that not only touched on their most important questions but set up future storylines in such a way as to keep the furnaces of the online community burning as long as it takes the showrunners and their team to finish work on the second season. According to official reports, production is well underway, with the intention of moving as quickly as possible for a project of this scale. They couldn’t very well spend another 18 months shooting season two as they did with the first run now, could they?
