What’s This TV Show About?
Streaming on the Prime Video subscription service, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power TV show is based on the novels by J.R.R. Tolkien. The cast includes Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Maxim Baldry, Nazanin Boniadi, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Charles Edwards, Trystan Gravelle, Sir Lenny Henry, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Lloyd Owen, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers, Leon Wadham, Benjamin Walker, Daniel Weyman, and Sara Zwangobani. The story takes place thousands of years before the events seen in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has been renewed for a second season which will debut on August 29, 2024. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Unless they decide to publicize viewership, it is typically difficult to predict whether a service like Prime Video will cancel or renew a show for season two. The company paid a lot of money for the rights to produce The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, so unless the series tanks, I do not doubt that the series will be completed. Word is that there is a five-season plan. It’s already been renewed for a second season. Subscribe for free alerts on The Rings of Power cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Are you glad that The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power TV show has been renewed for a second season on Prime Video?
Please Amazon, please just cancel this show. It’s $1 billion fan fiction and I guarantee no viewers will be returning for season 2. People only stuck in for the finale because we were desperate for this show to redeem itself, which it did not. Just cancel it Amazon, spare us and Tolkien.
At the end of the 6th episode it shows a pyro blast from the volcano coming into the village and engulfed the village. A pyro blast travels at around 500 to 600 mph and it is also hundreds of degrees in heat. At the beginning of the 7 episode it shows several survivors. Now think about what the pyro blast speed and temperature get your facts straight when someone thinks of these episodes I love lotr but someone dropped the ball on this.
This show was utterly horrible. Just the worst kind of writing possible.
