The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power episode 3 release date: When does the next episode come out?
At long last, Amazon’s Lord of the Rings prequel series is finally here, and wow, there’s a lot to talk about. As we all know, Amazon Prime Video spent a fortune to make this thing, and many people were worried about how it could turn out. Though fans hoped this might be something at least worth watching, there were doubts, especially given how beloved Peter Jackson’s award-winning movie trilogy still is.
Well, the first two episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power are now out for everyone to watch, and let’s just get this out of the way…They’re great! What a major relief.
We meet so many characters in The Rings of Power that it’s almost overwhelming, but each of their stories are entertaining enough to keep you engaged. Plus, the visuals are just gorgeous! I wish I could watch this show on the big screen. Let’s hope the rest of the season is this strong.
If you’ve watched the first two episodes of The Rings of Power and are now waiting for the next one, here’s when you can expect it to drop.
