Saturday that"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" garnered over 25 million viewers globally on its first day, setting a new record for Prime Video.

The series debuted Friday in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide, according to Amazon. A prequel to"The Lord of the Rings" books and films, it is one of the most expensive television shows ever made, according to"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," Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios, said.

A packed Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center readies for Amazon Prime's"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.""And it is the tens of millions of fans watching – clearly as passionate about Middle-earth as we are – who are our true measure of success," Salke also thanked showrunners and the production crew for their work on the show.

The show, which is set thousands of years before the events of"The Hobbit" and"The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, has already dropped the first two episodes. The remaining episodes of the series will air weekly, ending with the season finale on October 14.

Yeah, but it sucked ass.

Are they also going to announce that people hate it?

It's big for HUD Staff and unknown others to be picked up during a workday, hang upside down in plane, space, Russia and noone from Government has said hi to us about it. Passed through States so interstate laws broken and space laws if any are unknown. Why Pres dead, law broken?

Watching it now - it’s good!

i can't watch it my roommate watches netflix and amazon shows regularly and that fictional cadence isn't something i'm into i can watch CNN or MSNBC or local news or the tonight show or saturday night live like i can listen to hard cadences

There was nothing to see really everyone was hoping for next level stuff. Disappointed ☹️

That’s a lot of viewers. Wonder why cnn is claiming people don’t like it because there are too many POC in the cast?

How are the reviews?

It was SO boring!
