The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 viewership numbers have been released by Amazon, and the series continues to be one of the most popular shows on Prime Video.
What is The Rings of Power Season 2 viewership?
In an internal memo released to staff this week according to a report from Deadline, the latest season of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings show has accrued 40 million viewers over its first four episodes. The new season is not only the number one show on Prime Video globally, but is also one of Prime Video’s top five seasons of television all-time on the platform through its first 11 days.
“We’ve seen an impressive amount of our Rings of Power customers coming from outside of the U.S., which is a testament to the show’s resonance with global audiences and the remarkable growth of Prime Video customers worldwide,” the memo reads.
Despite the large success of the show, the show does seem to be down overall in terms of viewers. According to data from Samba TV, viewership for the Season 2 premiere of the series was down around 50% during its first weekend. The Season 1 premiere of the show also saw 25 million people tune in for its first day, and eclipsed the 40 million mark of the second season a bit sooner.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 features an ensemble cast led by Robert Aramayo as Elrond, Morfydd Clark as Galadriel, Maxim Baldry as Isildur, Ismael Cruz Córdova as the Silvan elf Arondir, Charles Edwards as elven smith Celebrimbor, Sophia Nomvete as dwarven princess Disa, Charlie Vickers as Sauron, Cynthia Addai-Robinson as Miriel, Ema Horvath as Eärien, and more.
Based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s iconic Lord of the Rings novel series, the show is developed and executive produced by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, who are serving as showrunners. Executive producers are Lindsey Weber, Callum Greene, Justin Doble, Jason Cahill, Gennifer Hutchison, and Charlotte Brändström. It is produced by Kate Hazell, Helen Shang, Clare Buxton, Andrew Lee, Glenise Mullins, and Matthew Penry-Davey.
