Lord of the Rings returns in season 2: Sauron forges dark plans for Middle Earth in the trailer
After the Lord of the Rings series recently revealed powerful rings and brought a new Sauron actor into play, Season 2 is gearing up for a battle that “10 times bigger” than in season 1. Before the two-episode series, which is indicated in the trailer, Battle of Eregion comes, well-known and new characters first follow their missions through Middle Earth.
With a total of 20 Rings of Power, Sauron (Charlie Vickers) still has a lot of work to do in Season 2 if he wants to drive Middle Earth into darkness and bind it forever. Sauron’s rise is at the centre of the eight new episodesAs “one who shares gifts” he exploits the promoted Celebrimbor for his own ends and even mentions the 9 human rings in the trailer. Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) must confess his betrayal to the elves and decide with them whether they should dare to use their own three rings.
Meanwhile, the stranger and Nori meet a powerful teacher in the east, who is a true Tolkien legend: Tom Bombadil (Rory Kinnear) appears in the trailer with a large hat and red beard. In the south, the elf Arondir and Isildur, who was believed to be dead, meet. Meanwhile, disaster is brewing on the island of Númenor and the dwarven kingdom is also threatened by the father-son conflict of the Durins.
In addition, Orc leader Adar still has a score to settle with the Dark Lord and we catch a glimpse of the Balrog, Spider Shelob and a Ent. The outlook is bleak. It is not for nothing that the Lord of the Rings executives promised that Season 2 “dirtier and harder” becomes.
When does the Lord of the Rings series start season 2 on Amazon?
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power starts on 29 August 2024 into the second season. The new eight episodes will then be released weekly on Amazon Prime Video *.
