Many people, including Frodo actor Elijah Wood, said they were bummed about production moving to the UK and out of New Zealand.

Amazon Studios has not announced a release date for The Rings of Power Season 2, but recently, the company announced three new cast members, including Harry Potter actor Cirian Hinds.
