The first look of the upcoming second season of the series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is out now on YouTube, and it shows for the very first time, what the One Ring can do if its power is unleashed by its master.
The second season will debut globally on Prime Video on 29 August 2024 in more than 240 countries and territories in multiple languages.
In The Rings of Power S2, Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without 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. Building on Season One’s epic scope and ambition, the new season plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity. Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots… as friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all… each other.
The debut teaser trailer takes viewers on an action-packed journey back to J.R.R. Tolkien’s Second Age, and shows the ascending evil presence of Sauron as he continues his vengeful quest for complete power. Showcasing the cinematic splendor that the series is known for, and heralding the return of characters like Galadriel, Elrond, Prince Durin IV, Arondir, and Celebrimbor, this first-look reveals the much-anticipated creation of more Rings.
Prime Video has revealed key art of the second season, featuring the return of Charlie Vickers in the role of Sauron, one of the world’s greatest literary villains, appearing in a new form – one that will aid him in deceiving the denizens of Middle-earth.
According to Prime Video which exclusively streams the show, the first season was one of the top original series for the platform, viewed by more than 100 million people worldwide, and driving more Prime sign-ups worldwide during its launch window than any other previous content to date.
The Rings of Power S2 will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
