'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' will finish filming Season 2 during the writers strike.
While seemingly countless other shows halt production amidst the current writers strike, it has been reported by Variety that Amazon Prime Video's Lord Of The Rings: Rings of Power will remain in production, with 19 days of filming remaining. The show's executive producers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay however, will not be present on set.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The show makes the unenviable decision to move forward with work on its second season as the WGA made the decision this week to go on strike following the failure of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to renegotiate on many of the WGA's proposed changes. Such proposals included fairer pay and insurance, as well as protection for writers against the use of AI tools, in order to ensure stability in the profession.
The WGA previously went on strike in 2007 for a duration of 100 days, concluding in 2008, during which many shows and movies faced similar decisions as to whether to delay or cancel productions, or to continue to move ahead regardless. A notable example of a show which made the decision to continue production is the once-great superhero show Heroes, which with its first season garnered wide critical acclaim.
Filming of the second season of Lord Of The Rings: Rings of Power began on October 3 of 2022, with production on the eight episode series moving to the UK from New Zealand. While no official release date for the upcoming season has been release yet, fans can hope to see it return in 2024.
