Amazon Prime's renowned series, 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,' also known as 'Yüzüklerin Efendisi: Güç Yüzükleri' in Turkish, premiered in 2022 with a staggering budget, making it the most expensive series in history. Now, the announcement for the second season has created a buzz among fans.
Boasting a colossal budget of 1 billion dollars, 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' claimed the title of the most expensive series in history upon its release on Amazon Prime in 2022. The adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy explores events that occurred 2000 years before the beloved series, narrating the Second Age of Middle-earth.
While the production garnered admiration from many 'Lord of the Rings' enthusiasts, it left others somewhat disappointed. Despite varying opinions, the series delivered a visual spectacle worthy of its extensive budget, and its success prompted Amazon to sign a new three-year deal and initiate pre-production for the third season.
Amazon, confirming the news through a press release obtained by IGN, expressed their ongoing astonishment at the immense global success of the groundbreaking first season. Vernon Sanders, President of Amazon MG Studios Television, stated their excitement about extending the agreement with the brilliant creative minds behind the series, JD Payne and Patrick McKay.
Sanders commented, 'We started this extraordinary journey with JD and Patrick over five and a half years ago and have never looked back. We continue to be amazed by the scope and scale of their vision and, following the record-breaking first season of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,' we are thrilled for Prime Video customers to experience the epic adventure and drama they are continuing to build in the second season and beyond.'
The premiere of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' on Prime Video took place in 2022, and even before the series debuted, Amazon had announced the confirmation of its second season in 2019. The latest announcement reveals that the highly anticipated second season is expected to be released later this year. Fans are eagerly awaiting further details about the upcoming season.
