But is it delayed in India? No. While the release date in the USA is September 01, the time difference between the two countries changes the day here from Thursday to Friday.
The same thing happened with the House of The Dragon release in India, where new episodes are dropping every Monday morning.
Which OTT platform will it stream on?
This new Rings of Power series will be streaming on Amazon Prime Video in India. Since Amazon Studios is the producer and distributor of it, there is no doubt that they will show it on their very own OTT platform only.
In fact, this is the most expensive television series developed in history. Amazon acquired the rights for $1 billion dollars in 2017 for a 5 season commitment.
It is said that Jeff Bezo (Amazon CEO) bought this to make something like Game of Thrones. So, he knows the worth of the franchise which has $5.9 billion dollars in the last 6 films. This fantasy show can be a game-changer for their streaming service.
Will it be dubbed in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu?
Prime Video India knows the strength of local languages and their impact on how wide the series will reach Indian audiences. That’s why they are dubbing it in all major languages.
The Rings of Power will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam in India.
Here is the Hindi trailer for the first season:
Let’s see how this great decision will impact its popularity in the country.
About the series
‘The Rings of Power’ is set thousands of years before the first film begins. It will tell the story of how the Rings are made and the dawn of Sauron.

In the end, here is the official synopsis of the series (via primevideo.com): “Beginning in a time of relative peace, we follow an ensemble cast of characters as they confront the re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountain to the majestic forests of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.”
