Rings of Power Season 3 confirmed as Amazon chief slaps down cancelation rumors

As a seasoned gamer and Tolkien fanatic, I can’t help but feel both relief and anticipation after hearing the confirmation of Rings of Power Season 3. My journey through Middle-earth has been filled with countless hours of immersion, from late-night marathons of The Lord of the Rings trilogy to endless debates over the lore with fellow fans.


Contrary to some reports suggesting that The Rings of Power has been axed following lower viewership in Season 2, Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke has clarified that this is untrue.

In 2022, when The Rings of Power debuted, it drew immediate comparisons with House of the Dragon. Coincidentally, both series were released concurrently, although they were aired on separate days. However, this scheduling difference transformed the situation into a kind of friendly competition.

In simpler terms, we could say, “Although HBO’s first season set a new high for viewership on Amazon Prime Video, the fact that many viewers didn’t finish watching it and the mixed reactions from fans don’t present a completely positive image.

While our assessment indicates that The Rings of Power Season 2 showcased significant enhancements, it’s worth noting that viewership plummeted by nearly half compared to the first season’s debut. However, we remain uncertain about how many viewers continued watching until last week’s finale.

Fear not, because Amazon’s head honcho just confirmed Rings of Power Season 3 is going ahead.

During a conversation with Variety, they inquired about whether there had been any adjustments to Netflix’s initial 50-episode pledge for the TV series.

She clarified, “I have my doubts about it. Our actions aren’t primarily motivated by that commitment.

As long as we observe that the audience from around the world enjoys and consistently watches our show, we’ll keep producing it. It’s clear that a significant number of viewers are tuning in, which indicates a thriving business. There’s no question about whether or not the show will persist.

Salke hinted at the potential for Amazon to purchase Embracer Group, the company holding most of Tolkien’s intellectual properties. “We frequently discuss such prospects,” she explained, “but I currently don’t have any updates to share.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve been eagerly waiting for updates on the next season, but Patrick McKay and JD Payne have kept their cards close to their chest about season 3. Their recent statement read: “We can only confirm that we’re in the kitchen, stirring the pot. So, let us work, let us create.
