'It would be amazing if we could get season two out within a year of season one’s release. Speaking to Collider, Amazon Studios' head of television Vernon Sanders implied that it might be optimistic to expect season two in 2023.

That had led us to think that we'd see the second season around the same time of year as we saw the first, but it appears not. 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.' Salke told Variety: 'We want the shortest time possible between seasons, but we want to keep the bar just as high. The show is simply gorgeous and that takes extensive work, which, according to the head of Amazon Studios Jennifer Salke, they are not willing to rush. Season one took 18 months to film and while that was in part likely due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there's no denying that the high production values would have played their own part.

The cast and crew went back to work in early October 2022, however while that means that things are ticking along nicely, it could still be a while before a second season lands. In even better news, production has already begun. Their favourite fantasy series has already been renewed for a second season.

Fans of The Rings of Power can breathe a huge sigh of relief.
