Amazon Studios on Saturday said its much-anticipated series, "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power," broke viewership records, with more than 25 million people tuning in to watch on the first day.
The show, based on the appendices of "The Return of the King," premiered on Amazon Prime Video Thursday in more than 240 territories and countries.
Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios in a statement called it "a proud moment," adding "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."
