Fantasy fans are getting fed pretty well right now. The Wheel of Time season 2 is tearing it up on Amazon, the second season of House of the Dragon just wrapped on HBO, and we’re getting new whispers about The Rings of Power, Amazon’s epic Lord of the Rings prequel show.
The second season of The Rings of Power is already in the can. But Amazon may already be looking at what happens after that. Fans noticed that “THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER 03” was listed in an August issue of Production Weekly, an industry publication that lets workers know what shows and movies are in production or going to go into production.
Amazon has already invested a lot of money into The Rings of Power, so it probably wants the show to last for a while. Season 2 doesn’t have a firm release date yet but will probably premiere sometimes next year.
Netflix renews Alice in Borderland for season 3
Speaking of shows getting renewed for third seasons, The A.V. Club reports that Netflix has given another season order to Alice in Borderland, based on the manga by Haro Aso.
Alice in Borderland is about a game-obsessed slacker named Arisu who finds himself in an alternate reality version of Tokyo where people are forced to play deadly games to stay alive. It’s got a Squid Game flavor to it. Squid Game is the most successful show in the history of Netflix, and Alice in Borderland is the most successful Netflix show ever in Japan. Netflix is officially the home of people being forced to play fatal games against each other,
The second season of Alice in Borderland seemed to wrap up many of the main storylines, but it left the door open for more, and there’s plenty of source material. There’s no release date for season 3 as of yet.
