The first installment of the “Lord of the Rings” series is now approaching the finish line on Amazon Prime Video. The penultimate episode of season one will be released on October 7, before the grand finale of season one “The Rings of Power” flashes to screens a week later. According to the Hollywood Reporter.Meanwhile, filming of the second season of Middle-earth has begun in England. October 3 shooting began yesterday, and no launch date has been set.

‘Rings of Power’ is leaving New Zealand for the second season

Some Tolkien fans will surely regret that the second season of the fantasy series is now being produced in Bray Studios, west London, rather than New Zealand. Because in addition to the first season of the Amazon series, the legendary trilogy of films “The Lord of the Rings” (2001-2003) and “The Hobbit” (2012-2014) directed by Peter Jackson (60) has already been created in the Pacific island nation. In the imagination of the viewer, New Zealand thus became the fictional continent of Middle-earth.

As The Hollywood Reporter wrote, however, it “saves more costs” for Amazon to shoot the second season of large-scale production in England. Almost half of the series’ cast are also based in the United Kingdom, As the trade magazine reported when the move became known over a year ago.

In total, ‘Rings of Power’ will have five seasons

Five seasons of the series “Lord of the Rings” are planned. The second edition will again consist of eight episodes. The first season of The Rings of Power is said to have grossed an estimated $465 million. The total budget will likely cross the billion dollar mark by the end of the series.
