Darkness Returns to Middle Earth in New RINGS OF POWER Trailer
By Movieguide® Staff
Prime Video just dropped another trailer for the highly anticipated second season of LORD OF THE RINGS: RINGS OF POWER at the San Diego Comic-Con.
“The action-packed trailer focuses on the long-feared reemergence of the legendary villain Sauron, heralding the return of darkness and evil to Middle-earth after many years of hard fought peace among all of its realms,” a press release announced.
It also “highlighted the creation of more of the titular Rings of Power, forged with the aid of Sauron’s powers of deception and manipulation.”
The second season will bring some of the most iconic LORD OF THE RINGS creatures to life, including Ents, a young Shelob, Hill-Troll Damrod, a Sea Worm and an army of Barrow-wights.
“The riveted crowd also enjoyed teases of several major battle scenes that will be pivotal to Season Two’s storylines,” the release added.

Movieguide® previously reported on what fans can expect from Season 2:
“The new season sets the stage for J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendary villain, Sauron, as he darkens Middle-earth’s Second Age,” a logline from the press release reads.
“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,” the synopsis says.
“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,” it continues. “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.”
Premiering on Prime Video on Aug. 29, season 2 of THE RINGS OF POWER is produced by showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay.
“The series’ first season was an unprecedented global success and one of the top original series for Prime Video, 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,” Amazon reported.
Movieguide® awarded RINGS OF POWER Season 1, Episode 8 a Teddy Bear Award®, praising its “Very strong allegorical Proto-Christian, redemptive worldview of Good versus Demonic Evil.”
