The cast of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power took to Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con today, where they shared an impressive trailer that teases what we’ll see in the show’s upcoming season.
The trailer has A LOT. There’s Rory Kinnear bringing Tom Bombadil to life on-screen! There’s Ents, Ents I say! And Eagles! And there’s also a lot of ring talk. The rings have power, of course, but can also corrupt! Will the rings that the elves, dwarves, and men wield work to bring Sauron (Charlie Vickers) into power instead of preventing him from doing so? How will they influence those who wield them? And when will Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards) realize that sexy elven Sauron is bad, actually.
We’ll have to wait to find out, of course. Though luckily, not too long.
Here’s the official synopsis of the upcoming episodes to further wet your whistle:
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, Season Two of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power 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 second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power premieres on Prime Video on August 29, 2024.
