But, according to Variety, Salke released a memo to staff revealing The Rings of Power season 2 made the show one of the top five best-performing original series on the streaming service. This puts it within the same ranking as Fallout, Reacher, and The Boys, all of which were solidified on the top five list thanks to new releases this year. Amazon also shared that season 2 has been seen by 40 million viewers in its first 11 days, although it’s unclear what this means in terms of viewership longevity for the new episodes.
What The Rings Of Power Season 2’s Numbers Means For The Fantasy Show
Amazon Has A 5-Season Plan
While the show is currently doing well for Prime Video in a relative sense, their claim of 40 million viewers in 11 days appears to be far behind season 1, which Amazon said in 2022 reached 25 million viewers on its first day. However, these claims of tens of millions of viewers are not fully replicated by data from Luminate, which claims the show’s three-episode launch on Labor Day weekend earned it 553.5 million minutes, averaging to 2.7 million views. However, the show’s numbers still put it near the top of Prime Video’s list of successful originals.
While the show’s success makes it seem like a continuation is guaranteed, it’s also the most expensive TV series ever produced, with episode budgets reportedly soaring above $50 million each. This makes Rings of Power season 2 reviews more concerning for the show’s longevity, with many critical of its plodding pace and lack of interesting storylines. However, with Amazon already dedicated to a five-season plan with the series, so long as it maintains a high ranking as one of its top shows, it seems inevitable to keep going strong.
Our Take On The Rings Of Power’s Success On Prime Video
Season 3 Appears To Be A Guarantee
Image via Prime VideoWith the show performing extremely well for Prime Video, The Rings of Power season 3 appears to be guaranteed for the platform’s future. Given the series is only halfway done with season 2, the exact strength of viewership for the show won’t be obvious for a few more weeks. However, since the series is now one of the streamer’s top five most-watched original series, it seems to have a strong future ahead that will allow its full story to unfold.
