Amazon Studios boss Jennifer Salke has addressed the long-term future of The Rings of Power – and potential market saturation – after the announcement that new Lord of the Rings movies are in development at Warner Bros.

On 'how much Lord of the Rings would be too much for the market', Salke told Variety, "We’ll see."

She added, "We love our original series. We’re extremely proud of it, and invested long term. So, we definitely think there’s enough fan love to sustain ours for a long time."

The Rings of Power season 2 is currently filming – and has recast villain Adar for its undated sophomore series, the follow-up to the first season of the most expensive TV show of all time.
