The highly-anticipated fifth episode of “The Rings of Power” season two is set to launch this Thursday on Prime Video. The new episode will continue unfolding the intricate plotlines of J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium being adapted for the small screen.
Since debuting its first three episodes in late August, the streaming series has maintained a weekly schedule for releasing subsequent installments. This pattern means fans can look forward to the fifth episode premiere at midnight Pacific Time on September 12.
Viewers have watched key events unfold over the first four episodes. Sauron skillfully posed as Annatar to deceive the elf Celebrimbor into starting the Rings of Power forging. Tensions also grew as elven leaders Galadriel and Elrond disagreed over the Three Elven Rings. Elsewhere, dwarves in Khazad-dûm faced a devastating mine collapse.
Episode runtimes generally exceed one hour, with the premiere clocking in at one hour and 16 minutes. Following installments ranged from one hour and two minutes to one hour and six minutes. Showrunners have hinted the upcoming episode will provide around the same substantial viewing experience.
As the season continues, the plot promises to intensify. Creators foreshadow a looming multi-episode conflict in Eregion alongside other magical showdowns. With around four hours left in the season, fans eagerly await seeing how the intricate narratives progress and conclude in the final three weekly installments.
The remaining release dates are September 19, 26 and October 3 for the season finale. As the premiere of episode five approaches, viewers will tune in this Thursday to watch the story of The Rings of Power unfold further.
