“There’s so much planning and prep that’s necessary for us to get this mounted that the only reason we probably haven’t gotten there quite yet is we’ve just been so heads down in Season 2, but I would expect there to be news in the new year.” added Sanders. Recently, the series just landed its all-female directing team for season two, which makes the upcoming production more enthusiastic.
Sanders also revealed in another interview that Rings of Power is their most watched series ever. After releasing its eight-episode first season back in September, the series has been watched by more than 100 million people worldwide, including 25 million viewers on its premiere day, with more than 24 billion minutes streamed, making it Prime Video’s biggest launch ever.
“We green-lit this, we made this investment, just on the rights, so long ago, that I don’t even know what the hopes were. But it has been a tremendous success. It is, by far, our most-watched show, first-season scripted series, by far… So, it’s just been a powerhouse for us. And, as big of an investment as it’s been, it has more than paid off for us. So, we’re thrilled.” said Sanders.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 1 is streaming on Prime Video.
