Despite Amazon Prime Video setting specific Friday release dates for all of its feature films and TV shows like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, most fans have gotten used to the early drops from the streamer. Take The Rings of Power for example, the series was long earmarked for a September 2 release date but actually debuted its first two episodes a little earlier on the evening of September 1st. Now having trained its audiences, and the most die-hard of fans, that episodes will be available early, Prime Video has actually pulled back on that as episode 3 of The Rings of Power is nowhere to be found, and fans are noticing.

Confirmed in a press release back in August, Prime Video announced that while the first two episodes of The Rings of Power would arrive at 6 PM PT/9 PM ET on September 1st, every other episode in the show’s first season will arrive three hours later at 9 PM PT/12 AM ET. According to the streamer: “The episodes will launch at the same time around the world, so that all fans can experience them simultaneously. The finale of the eight-episode first season will air on 14 October.” Despite this news, fans didn’t get the memo, and they’re tearing down social media to see more of the series.
