“Rings of Power”, the Amazon Prime Video offshoot of the Tolkien fabric, likes “Lord of the Rings” fans. But the series is now far from triggering a hype.
As became known on Monday (January 27th), the number of streams decreased by a whopping 60 percent compared to the first season. This emerges from an analysis by the data company Luminate, through the “Deadline” reported.
According to an earlier report, just 902,000 households in the United States saw the first episode of the second season within four days of its premiere, which is a dramatic decline compared to the 1.8 million households that saw the pilot sequence of the first season. At that time, Amazon still recorded a record that could not top another streaming start afterwards. However, later surveys also indicated a comparatively successful use.
“Rings of power” makers record 50 episodes
While the critics were already disagreed with the first episodes of “Rings of Power”, whether the series could keep up with the outstandingly staged “Lord of the Rings” films, the unbroken viewer was actually the largest fisting pawn for the enormous budget Series.
The Prequel series created by JD Payne and Patrick McKay plays thousands of years before Jrr Tolkien’s famous trilogy and shows Sauron’s rise in the second age of Middle-earth.
Despite the disappointing figures, the boss of Amazon Studios, Jennifer Salke, explained in October that the planned 50 episodes of “rings of power” should also be produced.
