The Rings of Power Season 2 Viewership Is Down, Still Prime Video’s Most Popular

As a seasoned gamer and a diehard fan of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth lore, I must say that the viewership numbers for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 have left me both amazed and slightly perplexed. On one hand, it’s heartening to see such a beloved franchise continue to captivate audiences worldwide. With its intricate storytelling, stunning visuals, and an ensemble cast that brings Middle-earth’s iconic characters to life, it’s no wonder The Rings of Power has become a global phenomenon.


The number of viewers for Season 2 of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” has been revealed by Amazon, and it turns out that this show remains among the top favorites on Amazon’s streaming platform, Prime Video.

What is The Rings of Power Season 2 viewership?

According to a Deadline report, an internal memo revealed this week that the initial four episodes of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings series have amassed a viewership of 40 million globally. Notably, this new season is not only the most-watched show on Prime Video worldwide, but it also ranks among the top five most-viewed television seasons ever on the platform in its first eleven days.

The memo states that many viewers of our “Rings of Power” series are from countries other than the United States, demonstrating the show’s appeal to international audiences and the expanding reach of Amazon Prime Video customers globally.

Although the show has been quite successful, it appears to be experiencing a decrease in viewership overall. Interestingly, data from Samba TV indicates that the viewership for the Season 2 premiere dropped approximately 50% during its initial weekend compared to the first season’s debut. In contrast, the Season 1 premier attracted around 25 million viewers on its first day, and it took a little longer for the second season to reach over 40 million viewers.

As a devoted gamer, I’m excitedly anticipating Season 2 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. This time around, it seems we’ll be following an extraordinary group of characters, with Robert Aramayo portraying Elrond, Morfydd Clark stepping into the role of Galadriel, Maxim Baldry taking on Isildur, Ismael Cruz Córdova becoming the Silvan elf Arondir, Charles Edwards bringing elven smith Celebrimbor to life, Sophia Nomvete depicting dwarven princess Disa, Charlie Vickers embodying Sauron, Cynthia Addai-Robinson playing Miriel, and Ema Horvath breathing life into Eärien. Can’t wait to see how their stories unfold!

According to the epic Lord of the Rings book series penned by J.R.R. Tolkien, the TV show has been created and is overseen by executive producers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, who are also responsible for its management. Other executive producers include Lindsey Weber, Callum Greene, Justin Doble, Jason Cahill, Gennifer Hutchison, and Charlotte Brändström. The show is produced by Kate Hazell, Helen Shang, Clare Buxton, Andrew Lee, Glenise Mullins, and Matthew Penry-Davey.
