‘Rings of Power’ Was the No. 2 Streaming Series Over Labor Day Weekend Following Netflix’s ‘Worst Ex Ever’
Season 2 of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' was the second-most-watched streaming original series in the U.S. between Aug. 30 to Sept. 2.
The only series to beat “The Rings of Power,” per Luminate’s measurement, was “Worst Ex Ever,” which reached 633.3 million minutes watched in the same amount of time. When asked about viewership goals and expectations ahead of the Season 2 premiere of “Rings of Power,” Vernon Sanders, head of U.S. and global TV for Amazon MGM Studios, emphasized to Variety that the company’s roughly $100 million to $150 million investment per season also operates to “drive people through all of the avenues of Amazon,” including retail and music. It is not yet known whether Amazon will release proprietary data about “Rings of Power” Season 2 viewership, though further measurement from Luminate as well as Nielsen will provide a fuller picture in the weeks to come.
