Ring: The Final Chapter (リング ～最終章～, Ring ~Saishūshō~) is a television series, produced in Japan, based on the Ring film series. There are a total of 12 episodes in the series and a sequel was made called Rasen, consisting of 13 episodes.

Production

After the success of the film adaptation of Ring, the television series takes liberties to change the story.[2] For example, at the end of the first episode, Asakawa has arrived at a cabin in Japan's countryside, to find a tape that had previously doomed three other people. On placing the tape into the video player, he is greeted unexpectedly with a music video by pop idol Nao Matsuzaki.[2]

The series was first shown on January 7, 1999 on Fuji TV and ended March 25.[1] It was followed by a sequel TV series titled Spiral, which ran for 13 50-minute episodes.[3] It features Akiko Yada and Tae Kimura reprising their roles, respectively.
