This would make it the most expensive television series ever made. Payne and McKay were hired in July 2018 for their first credited roles. Their story bridges Second Age references in the appendices with original material, developed in consultation with the estate and Tolkien lore experts.

This included a production break of several months due to the <a href="/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic" title="COVID-19 pandemic">COVID-19 pandemic</a>. Amazon moved production for future seasons to the United Kingdom. Filming for the <a href="/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Rings_of_Power_season_2" title="The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2">second season</a> took place there from October 2022 to June 2023, finishing amid the <a href="/wiki/2023_Writers_Guild_of_America_strike" title="2023 Writers Guild of America strike">2023 Writers Guild of America strike</a>.

The first season was released through October and was the most-watched of any Prime Video original series according to Amazon. It received generally positive reviews from critics, particularly for its visuals and designs, but there were criticisms for the writing and pacing. The second season was released from August to October 2024.
