For decades, J. R. R. Tolkien’s high fantasy books have captivated readers all around the world. The author’s fascinating world was brought to life and colored by film and television adaptations ofLord of the RingsandThe Hobbit.These were enormously successful.
The Rings of Powerseries, which is available on Amazon Prime, is the most recent addition to theLord of the Ringsrealm. This series takes place in the Second Age of Middle Earth, thousands of years before the events of Peter Jackson’s Oscar-winning film trilogy.

The Lord Of The Rings Universe is expanding
Showrunner Patrick McKay explained in The OfficialThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of PowerPodcast that there is a lot more to the show’s potential universe than was explored in Season 1. He stated that,
“One of the first conversations we had with Amazon about this is the feeling that Tolkien’s world was much vaster than the limited geography traversed in the Lord of the Rings books and The Hobbit, and that there are great islands to the west in Númenor at this time. There’s Valinor even further west and then east there’s an entire continent Rhûn that has never been visited and never explored. All we know is the stars are strange there.”
TheRings of Powerscriptwriters seem to have a long time to explore Tolkien’s world, as they’ve announced that they’re already planning five seasons. Season 2 has already begun filming just outside of London, England, so these plans are already underway. Lindsey Weber, the show’s executive producer, has high hopes for the next seasons as well, stating that Season 2 would be“grittier, more intense, and maybe a little scarier.”

The showrunners also intend to include more iconic settings, Middle-earth characters, and a two-episode battle. Taking all of this into account, the show has set a high standard for itself, and it may require all of the assistance it can get not only to preserve current readership but also to attract a larger audience.

Showrunner Patrick McKay used the same tactic to expand the Tolkienverse for more sequels.
