How to watch new The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power for free on Prime Video

It seems like we've been waiting forever, but the long wait is finally over.

Nearly five years after acquiring the rights to The Lord of the Rings franchise, retailer Amazon announced big plans to launch an all new series TV, reimagined in JRR Tolkien's world.

Well, Lord of the Rings fans - the first two episodes of the eight part season are available to stream today (September 2).

And the best news? We've found a way to watch the new series for nothing - how good is that?

Customers who sign-up for a 30-day free trial to Amazon Prime will be able to stream episodes of The Rings Of Power available on Prime Video.

If you've taken advantage of this free trial in the past, Amazon allows accounts to test its membership service without paying around once a year - so it's well worth checking.

The long awaited return of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of The Rings launches on Amazon Prime Video today.

New episodes will air weekly on a Friday until the end of the first season of The Rings Of Power, which will end in mid-October.

What is The Rings Of Power about?

This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin .

Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.

These kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

Sign up for a free 30 day trial of Amazon Prime here to catch episode one, which is available to stream now.
