Ring: The Final Chapter (リング ～最終章～ Ring ~Saishūshō~) is a television series, produced in Japan, based on the Ring movie series. There are a total of 12 episodes in the series and a sequel was made called Rasen, consisting of 13 episodes.
After the success of the film adaptation of Ring, the television series takes liberties to change the story. 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 unexpectently with a music video by pop idol Nao Matsuzaki.
The series was first shown on January 7, 1999 on Fuji TV.
It was followed by a sequel series titled Spiral, which ran for 13 50-minute episodes. It features Akiko Yada and Tae Kimura reprising their roles respectively.
