**Warning – Spoilers ahead for The Rings of Power**
The Rings of Power Season 1 is sprinting towards the finish line on Amazon Prime with only one episode left to go and we confirm the release date and global release times of Episode 8.

How Many Seasons of The Rings of Power Have Been Green Lit?
Amazon Prime has already commissioned five seasons of The Rings of Power including 50 hours of content, which is a daring feat.
Speaking to Empire Magazine about the show’s longevity, showrunner JD Payne boasted the team knew what the final shot of the last episode was going to be:
“We even know what our final shot of the last episode is going to be. The rights that Amazon bought were for a 50-hour show. They knew from the beginning that was the size of the canvas – this was a big story with a clear beginning, middle and end. There are things in the first season that don’t pay off until Season 5.”
