Next week, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will return to Prime Video, picking up where the last season left off back in 2022. The land of Mordor has been founded. The elves have made three rings of power, and Sauron has revealed himself to Galadriel, who was taken in by his disguise.

Amazon has spent a lot of money on this Lord of the Rings prequel show, and you can definitely see that in the trailers they've put out. They want you to tune in when the new season kicks off on Thursday, August 29.

As is their custom, Prime Video will drop the first three episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 all at once, so you'll be able to marathon them. After that, the episodes will come out at a rate one per week. Here's the full schedule. We still don't know any episode titles, so use your imagination:

  • Episode 201: August 29
  • Episode 202: August 29
  • Episode 203: August 29
  • Episode 204: September 5
  • Episode 205: September 12
  • Episode 206: September 19
  • Episode 207: September 26
  • Episode 208: October 3

All told, we'll be enjoying the second season of The Rings of Power for six weeks. The first season found its fans but was met with its fair share of blowback. Will people enjoy the second season more? Will it find the audience it needs to justify the huge amount of money Prime Video is spending on it? And is the Stranger Gandalf or what? All of these questions and more will be answered (hopefully) before too long.

And The Rings of Power season 2 isn't the only Lord of the Rings thing we're getting this year. In December, Warner Bros. Discovery is releasing an animated movie called The War of the Rohirrim, set long after The Rings of Power and a couple hundred years before The Lord of the Rings proper. Welcome back to Middle-earth.
