The news follows the first official Nielsen ratings that were released Thursday for the Prime Video series, showing that The Rings of Power it topped the streaming charts in its debut week with 1.3 billion minutes watched (probably an Amazon series record given that only two hours were released).
The show’s first season was filmed in New Zealand over an epic 18-month period during the pandemic. For Season 2, which will consist of eight episodes, Amazon has shifted production of the series to the UK, which is seen as cheaper and is also where the company is setting up a multi-show hub.

The cast includes Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Maxim Baldry, Nazanin Boniadi, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Charles Edwards, Trystan Gravelle, Sir Lenny Henry, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Lloyd Owen, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers, Leon Wadham, Benjamin Walker, Daniel Weyman, and Sara Zwangobani.
