Returning: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Prime Video unveiled a first look at the upcoming second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power at Amazon’s inaugural upfront presentation in New York City.

The series, viewed by more than 100 million people worldwide, will return in August 29 in more than 240 countries and territories in multiple languages.

The teaser trailer shows the ascending evil presence of Sauron (Charlie Vickers) as he continues his vengeful quest for complete power.

In Season Two of The Rings of Power, 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.

Thursday August 29, on Prime Video.
