Prime Video has released a preview for season two of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
As you probably know, the show is the most expensive television series of all time, with Amazon spending a reported $1 billion on its development. The first series set up Tolkien’s Middle-earth, exploring unseens kingdoms and lands and slowly introducing characters who are primed to become major players in the upcoming season.
The teaser for season two gives fans of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films some reason for excitement. It looks like the upcoming season will take a look at Sauron, the series most notable villain, and his rise to power. We don’t get Jackson’s trilogy without Sauron, and while we know how his story ends, it will be interesting to see how his journey began.
Meanwhile, Galadriel is leading an army of good against the rising forces of evil. Does she have what it takes to face Sauron? We’ll find out when season two premieres on Prime Video August 29.
