The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power release schedule: when is episode 5 on Amazon Prime Video?
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has reached its midway point. The first season will run for a total of eight episodes, and four are now available on Amazon Prime Video. We've spent the last few hours meeting Harfoots, Strangers, Elves, Dwarves, and Numenorians, and now that the main cast has been fully established, the adventures really taking off.
Of course, as the show's releasing weekly, you may be wondering when The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power episode 5 will launch on the streamer. After all, the series started with two episodes being launched at once, and now it's only one a week, plus it comes out a day earlier if you're on the West Coast due to time differences around the world. For the full release schedule, look no further. Here's when to expect to be back in Middle-earth.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power episode 5 release date and time
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power episode 5 reaches Amazon Prime Video on Friday, September 23 if you're on the East Coast or UK, or Thursday, September 22, if you're on the West Coast. The episode will drop at the following times, depending on where you are:
Thursday, 9:00pm Pacific – West Coast
Friday, 0:00am Eastern – East coast
Friday, 5:00am British Summer Time – UK
These are the times that new episodes will drop every week – however, you're only getting one hour of Harfoots and Dwarves from here on, no more two-episode drops like the premiere. The episodes are released every Thursday/Friday.
