In our review of The Rings of Power‘s premiere, we called it “the new prestige TV jewel in Prime Video’s crown”, adding “it’s epic fantasy at its magical best; a series that simultaneously honors J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendary works and tells a captivating original tale”.
The Rings of Power season 2 was greenlit by Amazon Studios in August 2021, with production beginning in October 2022. Unlike season 1 and Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies, the prequel series’ second season won’t be shot in New Zealand. Instead, principal photography will be primarily set in the UK, with the potential for some secondary filming to take place in Europe.
