One of the most hotly anticipated, and also most expensive TV shows of all time is finally hitting screens, with Amazon's big budget retelling of J.R.R.

The Rings of Power serves as a prequel to The Lord of the Rings and is based on Tolkien's book of origin tales called The Silmarillion, which was edited and published in 1977 posthumously by his son Christopher Tolkien.
You can watch The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power exclusively on Amazon Prime Video (opens in new tab) from Thursday, September 1, as we'll explain below.
