According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, Amazon is close to confirming Season 3, with an official announcement expected later this month. Fans\u2019 concerns stemmed from the fact that Amazon ordered Season 2 well before the first season even aired, creating uncertainty about the show\u2019s future. Meanwhile, showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay have been working on Season 3 for months, and they\u2019re ready to continue.<\/p>\n At a recent event in London, Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke praised The Rings of Power<\/em> to advertisers, highlighting the cast, including Charlie Vickers, who portrays Sauron. According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, studios often highlight such projects when they\u2019re planning to continue them.<\/p>\n Salke also revealed that Season 2 had over 55 million profile views, while the first season reached 150 million. On Rotten Tomatoes<\/em>, critics’ scores for the second season improved to 85%, though audience reception remains mixed.<\/p>\n Viewers’ scores on Rotten Tomatoes<\/em> jumped from 38% for Season 1 to 58% for Season 2, indicating some improvement. However, viewer drop-off is still a concern for the show\u2019s long-term success.<\/p>\n For now, fans are left waiting for official confirmation about the continuation of The Rings of Power<\/em>. In the meantime, it\u2019s worth noting how the creators justified bringing back a classic Lord of the Rings<\/em> character who originally had little relevance to the Second Age storyline.<\/p>\n
