Spoilers for season 1 ahead.<\/em><\/p>\n

With the first rings forged and the true identity of Galadriel’s boyfriend\u2014er, sorry, mortal enemy\u2014revealed, the Rings of Power<\/em> is finally ramping up just as its first season draws to a close. But the fires of Mount Doom will wait for no man (or elf), and you’d better believe Amazon Prime Video plans to milk its Lord of the Rings<\/em> IP for as long as possible. (There are still more JRR Tolkien footnotes to explore!) Thus, another four seasons of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power<\/em> are already queued up, as ring<\/em> co-showrunner JD Payne revealed before the first season had even premiered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are things in the first season that don’t pay off until season 5,\u201d Payne told empire<\/em> in June 2022. \u201cWe even know what our final shot of the last episode is going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that in mind, here’s what we know about what’s next for Middle-earth.<\/p>\n

will Rings of Power<\/em> have a season 2?<\/h2>\n

Yes, and three more after. Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios, revealed during an interview with variety<\/em>, \u201cWe’re building infrastructure for five seasons. We’re building a small city. We were always going to spend what we needed to spend to get it right.\u201d<\/p>\n

When will season 2 of Rings of Power<\/em> come out?<\/h2>\n

Five seasons are planned in total, with season 2 expected sooner rather than later\u2014possibly even in 2023. As Salke revealed, the sophomore chapter is already in production. \u201cWe’re going to get that out into the world as soon as we can,\u201d she told variety<\/em>. \u201cWe want the shortest time possible between seasons, but we want to keep the bar just as high. So it’ll take what it takes. But there’s been some urgency around moving quickly, which is why these guys have been writing all through their hiatus. We’re moving fast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who will be in the cast?<\/h2>\n

Most of the main cast is expected to return, including Morfydd Clark, Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Nazanin Boniadi, Ismael Cruz C\u00f3rdova, Charlie Vickers, Markella Kavenagh, Daniel Weyman, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Sophia Nomvete, and more.<\/p>\n
