As we dey wait for the official announcement from Amazon Prime Video, all signs dey point to the fact that *The Rings of Power* go return for season 3. Although dem no confirm am yet, the showrunners, JD Payne and Patrick McKay, don already plan a five-season story arc for the show[5).
Season two of the show end with a bang, with plenty praise from viewers and critics alike. The final two episodes, especially, be visually stunning and action-packed, showing the elves as dem struggle to defend Eregion from Sauron’s evil plot. This improvement from the first season, which some people find lacklustre, make it likely that Amazon go greenlight the show for another season[5).
Charlie Vickers, the actor wey play Sauron, talk about the next phase of Sauron’s plan in season 3. Vickers say he no know where the story go take him, but he hope that Sauron’s shapeshifting powers go be used sparingly to avoid being gimmicky. He emphasize that Sauron’s methods always be about manipulation and deception, as seen in his previous guises as Halbrand and Annatar[3).
The fan reaction to the season 2 finale be mixed but mostly positive. Many fans praise the show’s visuals, acting, and storytelling, with some even calling it their “happy place.” However, others express some disappointment and hope for significant improvements in season 3[4).
Amazon Prime Video recently host an investor event in the UK, where dem feature several cast members from *The Rings of Power*. This move suggest that dem no plan to cancel the show, especially since season 2 has already amassed 55 million views and dem expect this number to triple in the coming weeks and months[5).
