Amazon is banking on the success of the series
Amazon's plan is to make five seasons of "The Rings of Power", this being Prime Video's biggest bet to compete with Netflix and HBO Max , since both have series with a great impact on popular culture such as " Stranger Things " or "Game of Thrones" (and its recent prequel "House of the Dragon ").
