“We green-lit this, we made this investment, just on the rights, so long ago, that I don’t even know what the hopes were. But it has been a tremendous success,” Sanders said. “It is, by far, our most-watched show, first-season scripted series, by far. It’s our most acquisitive show. We still have millions of people coming to this show within the last month, millions and millions of people coming to the show for the first time, even in the last month.”
“So, it’s just been a powerhouse for us. And, as big of an investment as it’s been, it has more than paid off for us. So, we’re thrilled,” he continued. “But it’s a great question. I don’t even know what the initial hopes were, but we’ve also grown so significantly as a service, with both this and the NFL, over the fall. We’ve just seen a tremendous surge of new memberships, and I think there’s been some press about how that’s impacted our membership numbers and [driven] us to be number one in the US.” The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 has not yet been given an official release date.
