Following the poor reception of Season 1, Prime Video faces another setback with the ‘Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power’ Season 2 trailer, which has amassed over 500k dislikes on YouTube just three days after its release. Additionally, a “Look Inside Season 2” video posted two days ago has garnered nearly 30k dislikes.
Season 1 also fared poorly, with a Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score of just 38%, indicating widespread dissatisfaction among fans. Reports suggest that only 37% of viewers completed watching the first season, further highlighting the series’ struggle to engage its audience despite being the most expensive show ever made.
Meanwhile, Sweden-based Embracer, which owns the ‘Lord of the Rings’ IP, has announced new developments unrelated to Prime Video’s series. Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis are developing two new movies at Warner Bros., and the anime ‘The War of the Rohirrim’ is set to open on Christmas.
