Prime Video’s “The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power,” which premiered with two episodes on September 1, drew over 25 million viewers on its first day, reports Amazon. “It is somehow fitting that Tolkien’s stories – among the most popular of all time, and what many consider to be the true origin of the fantasy genre – have led us to this proud moment,” said Amazon Studios chief Jennifer Salke. “I am so grateful to the Tolkien Estate – and to our showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, executive producer Lindsey Weber, cast and crew – for their tireless collaborative efforts and boundless creative energy. And it is the tens of millions of fans watching – clearly as passionate about Middle-earth as we are – who are our true measure of success.” Prime Video secure rights for the show from the Tolkien estate in 2017, with a commitment for five seasons.
