Being the most expensive TV show ever made comes with obvious perks, but it also comes with a lot of expectations. Unfortunately, in the case of Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, which was released in 2022, those expectations ended up being completely dashed.
While some fans are still hoping and praying that the show will make some changes for its second season and fix all the problems with its character arcs and storytelling, others aren't so positive. Some of the Lord of the Rings fandom is even afraid that the show will be canceled after all the backlash it has received.
But don't let the panic set in just yet. While the reviews of the show speak for themselves, there are plenty of reasons for Prime Video to continue production.

It's no secret that the show's budget remains one of its most discussed aspects.

After much speculation, Warner Bros. Discovery made it official at Wednesday’s event to unveil the new Max streaming service: The studio is re-adapting J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” books into a TV series with an all-new cast, with Rowling onboard to executive produce.

While it wasn’t confirmed that each season will take up one novel, each book does take place over a single school year.

When Ryan Raftery hits the stage at Joe’s Pub this week in Mother of the Year, a parody musical inspired by iconic Hollywood momager Kris Jenner, he’ll have something special in his arsenal: a wig that may or may not have sat on her head.
“Kris’ hair guy sent me a wig, but I’m not 100 percent sure it was Kris’ wig,” Raftery tells The Hollywood Reporter of the stylist who reached out after hearing he was doing a Jenner-inspired musical to “essentially say he wanted to be sure I got the look right.”
Raftery is less interested in confirming the wig’s rightful owner than expressing what it means to have it in his possession. “Whether or not it actually ever sat on her head, having a piece of wardrobe that, even tangentially, comes from her camp is major,” he tells THR. “It’s like putting...
