There are eight episodes in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2, which is the same as the first season. The episode lengths and titles for the full season haven't yet been revealed but we can guess they will all be around the hour mark - especially since this was true for the first three that have aired so far, although two of those edged just over that standing at an hour 13 minutes.

Plus, the showrunners have said the show takes them a good chunk into their planned 50-hours of storytelling for this story. Take from that what you will.
