Here's the full 'Rings of Power' season 2 episode release schedule

After nearly two full years away from our screens, "The Rings of Power" season 2 has landed on Prime Video , meaning it's finally time to take another trip back to Middle-earth.

Even though "The Rings of Power" proved to be a divisive series among fantasy fans, it was also a huge release for the streamer. The first epic fantasy series began by building out the world; with the building blocks, characters, and locations in place, season 2 looks set to deliver more action.

That's because Halbrand (Charlie Vickers) has been unmasked as the Dark Lord, Sauron, and he's now poised to put his plans into action and begin wreaking havoc across the realm.

Every trailer that's come along made "The Rings of Power" season 2 look like an even grander, more action-packed saga than the first, one which will hopefully cement its place on our list of the best fantasy shows on Prime Video.

If you're struggling to remember what's happened thus far in the Second Age, we've also put together a quick "The Rings of Power" season 1 refresher so you can get up to speed and dive right into Sauron's campaign.
