With just eight episodes to cover everything it needs to,The Rings of Poweris likely to hit the ground running when it comes to its central plot. Even withThe Lord of the Ringsshow condensing the Second Ageof Middle-earth, there are numerous events it needs to tackle over its planned five seasons. Some of these, like the Fall of Númenor, will require time and attention to get right. And with Amazon’s series expanding Tolkien’s lore to include new characters and storylines, there’s really no time to waste.
How Long Each The Rings Of Power Episode Is
Amazon hasn’t revealed the titles or runtimes forThe Rings of Powerseason 2’s episodes, but they’re likely around the same length as season 1’s installments. This means they’ll clock in at around an hour — sometimes a little more — which is in line with most other live-action fantasy series, likeHouse of the Dragon. Although eight episodes make for a somewhat short season,The Rings of Power’s longer runtimes ensure that viewers will get their fill of Middle-earth in season 2.
