What Time Will ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ Episode 5 Premiere on Prime Video?

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Episode 5 on Prime Video should be, by all rights, jam-packed with adventure. The preview teases that Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) will spar with some Númenoreans, Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards) will learn about mithril, and wolves will come for the Stranger (Daniel Weyman) and harfoot buddies Nori (Markella Kavenagh) and Poppy (Megan Richards). But what we should perhaps be most worried for are the fates of Bronwyn (Nazanin Boniadi) and Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova). So when can we find out what happens next on Prime Video’s lavish Tolkien adaptation?

In The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Episode 4, we learned that Prince Durin IV (Owain Arthur) had discovered mithril and that Queen Regent Míriel (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) was haunted by a prophetic vision of Númenor’s fall. In the Southlands, the orcs were being led by a fallen elf calling himself “Adar,” (Joseph Mawle) the Quenya word for Father, and the hilt that Theo (Tyroe Muhafidin) found is a “gift” given to followers of Sauron. By episode’s end, Míriel changes her mind and decides to help Galadriel in her fight in Middle-earth. The Númenoreans will answer the call of the elves for the first time in generations. But will it be too little too late?

You’ll have to tune in to The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Episode 5 to find out what happens next! Here’s everything you need to know about when the newest episode of Lord of the Rings premieres on Prime Video, depending on your time zone…
