What’s Coming to Prime Video in September 2022, Including ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,’ ‘Thursday Night Football’
Enter the Second Age of Middle-earth, where kingdoms rise and fall. “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” the upcoming Prime Video five-season fantasy series, debuts Sept. 2. The series is based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and serves as a prequel to Peter Jackson’s iconic films. Set thousands of years before “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings,” the new show charts the rise of the evil Lord Sauron, forging the Rings of Power and the key battle of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men.

Next month also marks the beginning of a new era in sports broadcasting as Prime Video becomes the exclusive home of “Thursday Night Football,” marking the first time a streaming service has had exclusive rights to broadcast an NFL game. After hosting a preseason game on Aug. 25, the regular season premiere of the new “TNF” will kick off on Sept. 15 as the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers face off. Legendary broadcasters Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit will call the games in what promises to be a new type of NFL broadcast.
The streamer is also launching two horror films in September. “Goodnight Mommy,” a remake of the 2014 Austrian movie, stars Naomi Watts. When twin brothers arrive home, they find their mother’s face bandaged — and suspect the woman beneath the gauze isn’t who she pretends to be. “Goodnight Mommy” premieres Sept. 16.
Additional scares are found with “My Best Friend’s Exorcism,” coming Sept. 30. It’s 1988 and after two high-school friends enjoy a night of skinny-dipping, one of the girls starts acting bizarrely. Is their friendship strong enough to beat the devil?
