Amazon Studios announced that the second season of their highly anticipated series, "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power," has garnered an impressive viewership of 40 million globally within just 11 days of its release. While the exact methodology behind Amazon's viewership count remains undisclosed, the figure suggests a solid reception for the fantasy epic.

Although a direct comparison to the viewership of the first season is unavailable, Amazon previously boasted a staggering 25 million viewership within the initial day of "Rings of Power" Season 1's availability in 2022. The notable difference in numbers between the first and second season indicates a potential lag for Season 2, as reported by measurement company Luminate. However, it is worth noting that "The Boys" Season 4 saw 55 million viewers over a more prolonged period of 39 days, making it difficult to directly compare the two series.

Amazon further revealed that "The Rings of Power" Season 2 has now secured a spot among the top five most-viewed television seasons on the platform, ranking just below "Fallout" and Season 2 of "Reacher." Additionally, the series has held the title of Prime Video's number one program since its Season 2 premiere on August 29.

While specific data was not provided, Amazon emphasized that a significant portion of the viewership for "The Rings of Power" originates from international audiences, highlighting the show's global appeal.

Amazon Studios' head, Jennifer Salke, expressed her gratitude and admiration for the impressive achievements of their teams, celebrating the record-breaking success of several titles over the past year. Salke commended the resounding reception of "The Rings of Power" Season 2, crediting the unwavering dedication of the show's cast, crew, executive producers, and the Tolkien Estate.

The monumental success of "The Rings of Power" reflects Amazon's commitment to delivering captivating and diverse content to audiences around the world. With the buzz surrounding the series and the growing number of viewers, expectations remain high for the forthcoming episodes, creating an atmosphere of anticipation and excitement.

As the viewing figures for "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" continue to climb, Amazon's global streaming platform stands as a testament to the power of storytelling and its ability to captivate audiences on a massive scale.
