Get your best look yet at Season 2 of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, which debuted an epic trailer that showcases everything from new villains to how the namesake Rings of Power will wreak havoc on the world of Middle-earth.
What is The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power about?
The series, set in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Second Age, takes place in an era long before the events of Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings saga and paves the way for that eventual quest to destroy the One Ring. But before there was the One Ring, there were the other Rings of Power, which is where we find the action heading in the show.
What to expect from Season 2 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power?
In Season Two of The Rings of Power, Sauron (Charlie Vickers) has returned. Cast out by Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), without an army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will.
What's in the new trailer?
The action-packed trailer focuses on the long-feared re-emergence of the legendary villain Sauron, heralding the return of darkness and evil to Middle-earth after many years of hard-fought peace among all of its realms. It shows the creation of more of the titular Rings of Power, forged with the aid of Sauron’s powers of deception and manipulation. The trailer teases of several major battle scenes that will be pivotal to Season Two’s storylines.
It shows off plenty of sneak peeks that will have fans excited—like the many fantastical, and sometimes frightening creatures, including a young Shelob, an army of Barrow-wights, Hill-troll Damrod and a Sea Worm. The legendary tree-like figures, the Ents are also showcased, along with the fiery monster creature the Balrog and a majestic Great Eagle. It will also see the live-action debut of the enigmatic Tolkien character Tom Bombadil (Rory Kinnear).
