The Rings of Powerseason 2 finale is almost here, andit promises to raise the stakes of Amazon’sLord of the Ringsshow even further.The Rings of Powerseason 2, episode 7depicts the Siege of Eregion, one of the major events of Middle-earth’s Second Age. Overall, the sophomore season has put the show’s heroes — and even its main villain — in a number of predicaments. And their problems are far from over heading intoThe Rings of Powerseason 2’s eighth and final episode.
The upcoming finale must contend with the aftermath of the Eregion’s fall, Adar’s fate, andthe Nine Rings for Men. Further from Eregion, there’s also the matter ofthe Stranger’s true identityto deal with and the decline of Númenor. Those two stories are absent from episode 7, so the next installment will need to address them before closing the curtain on the current season. Needless to say,The Rings of Powerseason 2 finale has a lot to cover when it debuts on Prime Video.
The Rings Of Power Season 2, Episode 8 Releases At 12AM PT/ 3:00 AM ET
The Rings of Powerseason 2 finale is poised to answer some of the show’s biggest questions, and viewers don’t have long to wait for episode 8. Following theLord of the Ringsshow’s usual schedule,it will release on Prime Video at 12 a.m. PT (or 3 a.m. ET) on Thursday, October 3. Here’s when the upcoming finale debuts in each U.S. time zone:
Thursday, October 3 @ 12 AM
Thursday, October 3 @ 1 AM

Viewers eager to learn howThe Rings of Powerseason 2 ends will want to get up earlyto watch the latest episode. However, with a lengthy wait likely to occur between seasons 2 and 3 — assuming Amazon renews the series — there’s plenty of time to check out this conclusion. Sauron is poised to gain more Rings of Power, so the second outing is likely to end on a high note. That means an even more agonizing wait for the next chapter.
How Long Each The Rings Of Power Episode Is
The Rings of Powerseason 2, episode 8 has a lot to cover in the span of a single episode, but viewers can rest assured that it will have time to tackle everything it needs to. Each installment of season 2 has been a little over an hour, with the two longest episodes — the premiere and last week’s “Doomed to Die” — both landing close to an hour and 15 minutes. View the runtimes for each episode of season 2 below:
1 hour, 16 minutes
1 hour, 2 minutes
Episode 3, “The Eagle and the Sceptre”
1 hour, 6 minutes
1 hour, 5 minutes
Episode 5, “Halls of Stone”
1 hour, 1 minute
1 hour, 3 minutes
Episode 7, “Doomed to Die”
1 hour, 12 minutes
Hopefully, the finale will fall on the lengthier side, allowing viewers to fully enjoy theLord of the Ringsshow before the break between seasons. But even ifThe Rings of Powerseason 2’s finale is closer to the 60-minute mark, it should be sufficient to wrap up season 2’s loose ends — and, of course, set the stage for season 3.
