The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is streaming well, according to Amazon! The show has reached 40 million viewers globally in 11 days, according to the company, via Variety. Amazon has not defined how it quantifies viewership, however, which means that 40 million could be the number of people who watched any portion of the available episodes. The studio provided similar numbers for other titles, including the first season of the show, which Amazon claimed reached 25 million viewers in just its first day of availability in 2022, which would mean the follow-up season is lagging behind the first. They also reported that Fallout hit 65 million viewers in 16 days. In Season 2: “Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will. Building on Season 1’s epic scope and ambition, Season 2 of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity. Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots… as friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all… each other.” Find out more about the cast shake-ups leading up to the second season of the Amazon series!
