The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power arrives tonight. Get ready for the epic journey, but where can you stream it online?

It’s almost time to head back to Middle Earth. The Lord of the Rings series is finally arriving. The first two episodes drop tonight, with the rest arriving weekly to take us on this epic journey. It’s set thousands of years before the books and the movies, so everyone can enjoy this story for what it is.

Now you just need to know where you’re going to watch it. Which streaming platform will it be on, and will The Lord of the Rings eventually come to DVD and Blu-ray?

Stream The Lord of the Rings online

There will only be one place to watch the show. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is available to stream on Prime Video. This series has been in the works for Amazon for the last five years. There’s no way it will go anywhere else.

As an Amazon Original Series, it’s not going to another streaming platform. Something major will need to happen for that to even be a consideration.

Watch The Rings of Power on Digital

Will it be possible to buy the episodes? Probably not. The best way to keep people on a streaming platform is to make content exclusive to it. This means not releasing the content on Digital for people to buy once and watch over and over again.

We haven’t seen other Amazon shows get Digital releases. We don’t see it happening with this one.

Get The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on DVD and Blu-ray

What about a physical disc? This is more debatable. There is a chance that eventually the show will head to DVD and Blu-ray. We have seen it with other big Amazon shows like The Boys.

It’s going to take some time for this to happen, though. We’re looking at fall 2023 at the very earliest, but we could have to wait a few more years. It took three years for The Boys Season 1 to go from Prime Video to DVD, so we could be looking at 2025 for this new series.

You can always get the movies on DVD and Blu-ray* if you haven’t already.
