'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' sets Amazon Prime viewing record
."It is somehow fitting that Tolkien’s stories — among the most popular of all time, and what many consider to be the true origin of the fantasy genre — have led us to this proud moment," said Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke.
There was a lot on the line for the series, with a reported $465 million budget for the first season and heavy competition from HBO's rival series. The latter also recently debuted to the highest ratings in HBO's history with 9.986 million viewers across its linear HBO and streaming HBO Max platforms.
