The Rings of Power season 2 takes us back to Middle-earth this week as Amazon Prime Video's epic fantasy series returns. This time around, Sauron takes center stage after being unmasked as Halbrand at the end of season 1. Brought low by Galadriel's rejection, the second season begins as the Dark Lord tries to rebuild his power with the help of a new disguise – and the manipulation of a certain Elven smith.

.. It's been two years since we last saw this cast of characters on our screens in arguably one of the best shows on Amazon Prime .

So it's fair to say anticipation is pretty huge as we get into some seriously brutal battles ahead. However, it's worth noting that this time around the show has a different release schedule plan when it hits streaming. For all the details on that, and how exactly you can watch each episode, we've got a complete guide for you below.

The Rings of Power season 2 release date: what time is episode 1 on Prime Video in the US and UK? The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 release date is August 29, 2024. The first three episodes will be released on Prime Video on this date. Currently, the streaming platform hasn't confirmed the exact time that they'll be made available.
