We had to wait two years for season 2 of the Lord of the Rings series, but now Amazon’s big fantasy series The Rings of Power is returning to Prime on August 29, 2024. It starts on Thursday at 9 a.m. We’re already looking at the first three episodes and discussing how the return differs from season 1 and whether that’s good or bad.

After the recap of season 1, we will give you a spoiler-free overall impression on the Lord of the Rings return in Season 2: How does Sauron fare as the main character?

Then we descend deeper with spoilers for the first 3 episodes and focus on specific plot details and characters such as Sauron, Durin, Galadriel, Adar, Celebrimbor and Co.
