Prime Video's Long-Awaited Stephen King Epic Could Replace 'The Rings of Power'

The hunt for the "next Game of Thrones" has preoccupied studios and streamers for a decade now, but Amazon really brought out the big guns with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerstarting in 2022. The show certainly has its flaws, but at the end of the day its association with the most iconic fantasy series of the last century — combined with its massive budget — has helped The Rings of Power stay ahead. However, a new competitor could be poised to dethrone the Tolkien spin-off in terms of scale, brand recognition, and perhaps even popularity — Mike Flanagan's TV adaptation of Stephen King's largest series, The Dark Tower.
