The Rings of Power season 2 entered full production in mid-October. One of thebest Prime Video showshas not returned to New Zealand to film its second season, though. Instead, development on Amazon’s Lord of the Rings has moved to the UK, with Bray Film Studios and Bovingdon Airfield being used as primary filming locations.

ThePrime Videoseries' second season doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s unlikely to return to our screens until mid-2024 at the very earliest. That’s based on the amount of filming needed to complete its likely eight-episode run, plus the show’s lengthy post-production phase once principal photography ends.
