As a long-time devotee of all things cinema and a dedicated fan of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth, I find myself both intrigued and slightly concerned by the recent revelations regarding the viewership of The Rings of Power‘s second season. While it’s true that the series has maintained its position atop Prime Video’s charts, the data from Samba TV suggests a significant drop in audience interest compared to the show’s explosive debut in 2022.
Before the second season’s premiere, it was already leading on Prime Video. Nevertheless, recent data from Samba TV, as reported by Deadline, indicates that the viewership for The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power didn’t come close to matching its impressive Season 1 debut numbers
Although Amazon hasn’t disclosed specific viewership figures for the second season of The Rings of Power, Samba TV has emerged as a reliable gauge of a show’s initial performance. According to their analysis of data from approximately 3 million U.S. households, The Rings of Power was viewed by around 902,000 households on Prime Video within the first four days of its release
Although the current viewership appears fairly substantial, considering its past performance, it’s approximately half the 1.8 million viewers who watched the premiere of Season 1 within three days in 2022. Samba TV doesn’t account for mobile device viewing, but even so, the comparable data hints that the series’ comeback hasn’t matched the initial hype surrounding its first season. Since streaming platforms are generally secretive about their show viewership, we won’t know for sure how the two seasons of The Rings of Power compare until Nielsen releases their streaming chart in a few weeks
Is The Rings of Power Losing Audience Interest Already?
With incomplete data on viewership, determining if the series has actually lost half its audience from one season to another involves a significant amount of speculation. Before the airing of the first three episodes of The Rings of Power, it climbed to the peak of Amazon Prime Video’s global chart, implying that numerous viewers were revisiting Season 1 before jumping directly into the new seasons. However, if this is happening, it appears a large number of viewers have yet to start watching Season 2
Indeed, Season 1 of “The Rings of Power” was quite distinct from its subsequent season. The premiere episode in 2022 sparked a great deal of excitement among fans looking forward to seeing more of Tolkien’s work adapted for television, as well as those ready to critique the production. The intense review bombing that surrounded the show two years ago led many viewers to watch the series out of curiosity following the harsh criticism it faced on platforms like Rotten Tomatoes
The second season of “The Rings of Power” has not received as much buzz in comparison to its premiere, but the reviews have significantly improved, dispelling the cloud of controversy that surrounded the early episodes. Though some hardcore Tolkien fans may still harbor reservations, the series is far from a flop. On the contrary, it’s still the most-watched show on Amazon Prime Video, with critics continuing to sing its praises for its extravagant production and audiences finding Season 2 particularly captivating. In summary, “The Rings of Power” remains a prominent force in the streaming landscape, especially given the plans for three more seasons to continue its storyline, making it one of the most secure investments among streaming shows to avoid cancellation
