The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is just a few weeks away from premiering on Prime Video next month. Amazon will debut the first two episodes in the premiere, but also revealed when viewers can catch the latest episodes as soon as they drop. The full episode schedule has been released and you might want to clear up your calendar.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, documenting the events of the Second Age of Middle-earth before the creation of the One Ring and the events of The Lord of the Rings. Amazon has reportedly spent nearly $500 million on the first season alone, easily making it one of the most expensive TV series of all time. The show is planned to run for five seasons.
