by

As a die-hard fan who has been following “The Lord of the Rings” saga since I was a mere hobbitling, it warms my heart to see that Amazon’s “The Rings of Power” is not only surviving but thriving despite the initial grumblings from some quarters. The second season has indeed shown significant improvement over the first, and it’s a delight to see the series gaining more viewers week by week.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve got to say it’s quite a thrill to be part of the ever-growing audience for “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” on Amazon Prime Video. Despite some initial skepticism from fellow fans, this series has truly captured my imagination. Three episodes from the second season were unveiled on August 29, 2024, and I’m hooked! Each week brings a new episode, and I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds. It seems that both critics and fans are in agreement – this second season is a massive leap forward from the first, making it an exciting time indeed for us Tolkien fans!

Initially, reports indicated that the series was experiencing a drop in viewership, a fact that seemed to please some fans. However, we later confirmed that Amazon verified an increase in viewers for the second season, which was fantastic news for genuine enthusiasts of The Lord of the Rings.

As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that we now have comprehensive data on the initial week of our favorite series’ airing. The numbers are out and it’s official – our beloved show has made its mark, securing a prominent spot in the weekly rankings. This fantastic news is bound to make us fans even more ecstatic!

According to our previous report, preliminary and incomplete data from Samba TV indicated that approximately 902,000 households watched the premiere of The Rings of Power Season 2. This was a substantial decrease compared to the first season. However, the situation took a turn for the better when Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon MGM Studios, distributed an internal memo revealing that the viewership for The Rings of Power Season 2 is actually more robust than the initial figures suggested. In just 11 days, the series managed to attract around 40 million viewers, averaging approximately 3.6 million per day. This daily figure is considerably higher than what Samba’s numbers indicate.

A significant number of our “Rings of Power” viewers are joining us from beyond the U.S., demonstrating the widespread appeal of this series among international audiences and the expanding reach of Amazon Prime Video globally.

It’s clear now that our show is not just performing exceptionally well, but it also ranked as the second most-watched program from August 30 to September 5. This is quite impressive given that the latest season debuted during that same week following a longer hiatus. Typically, shows experience a dip in viewership between seasons, especially after such a prolonged break, so the fact that our series continues to thrive is indeed heartening.

In simpler terms, the newly released show “Worst Ex Ever” by Netflix was the most-watched. This isn’t unusual as new shows often garner more viewers at first. So, it’s not a big shock. Additionally, it’s worth noting that Netflix has a larger subscriber base compared to Amazon Prime, which is another factor to consider.

In a more casual and clear manner: The second season of “The Rings of Power” garnered an impressive 764.7 million minutes viewed in total, a figure that’s certainly commendable. However, with its untapped potential, Amazon hopes for even greater success in the future.
