Amazon Prime Video hits the gas with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The ambitious series based on the work of JRR Tolkien advances its premiere date, which will be launched at dawn from September 1 to 2. In addition, this debut will come with the launch of a double episode with which the platform puts all the meat on the grill, in addition to showing what the calendar will be for the first season.
Considered one of the most anticipated series of the season, The Rings of Power explores the Second Age of Middle-earth, delving into the rise of Sauron and various other significant events that will unfold around the creation of the 19 rings and the one who will rule them all.
Since the project was announced, back in 2017, Prime Video has been dosing the information about the plot and how this period prior to both the trilogy of The Hobbit like that of The Lord of the rings. The video-on-demand service bet heavily on this production, with a budget of approximately 1,000 million dollars and a commitment to produce 5 seasons.
