The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power had a cliffhanger ending for season 1. While fans are eager for the second season, Amazon Studios already has its sights set on Season 3 for the Middle-earth TV series.
Amazon planned a total of five seasons for the show based on J.R.R. Tolkien's second age of Middle-earth. With the success of the first season and the filming of the second, the show's third season is all but guaranteed.
Amazon Studios head Vernon Sanders recently spoke to Deadline about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. One question that came up was the renewal of the show for a third season.
"We are absolutely committed, we have every reason to be excited," Sanders said. "They've done a tremendous job."
"It's a great question about Season 3, we're probably two to three months in on Season 3, but I think there could be news certainly in the new year. There's so much planning and prep that's necessary for us to get this mounted that the only reason we probably haven't gotten there quite yet is we've just been so heads down in Season 2, but I would expect there to be news in the new year," Sanders continues.
