For the first time, Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings TV show, The Rings of Power, will be available to stream for free. Amazon and Samsung have partnered up to make Season 1 of the fantasy series free on Samsung TV Plus, but only for a limited time.
Samsung TV Plus is Samsung’s free TV package. You don’t need a credit card, nor do you have to sign up for a contract. You just need to have a Samsung TV that was released after 2016. Alternatively, Samsung TV Plus is available on Galaxy devices, refrigerators, and the web.
Best Buy is currently offering some good deals on Samsung TVs, in case you’re looking to buy one.
Season 1 of The Rings of Power is available on Samsung TV Plus in the US, Canada, Brazil, the UK, and Germany. Each episode is available on demand and available on dedicated channels where episodes play again and again.
Samsung claims it has nearly 300 million Samsung TV and Galaxy users, so The Rings of Power is opening up to a potentially massive audience with this promotion. The special ends on August 28, which is just one day before The Rings of Power Season 2 hits Prime Video.
The Rings of Power Season 2 arrives August 29 on Prime Video and the latest trailer brings war to Middle-earth.
In other news, multiple new Lord of the Rings games are in the prototype phase of development right now, while a new live-action film called The Hunt for Gollum is happening as well.
