A still from The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Prime Video unveiled a first look at the upcoming second season of the hit series ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power'. The series' first season was an unprecedented global success and one of the top original series. The makers announced that season two will debut globally on Thursday, August 29, 2024, in multiple languages.

Stunning new season two key art was also revealed today, 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.

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 many fan-favorite characters, including Galadriel, Elrond, Prince Durin IV, Arondir, and Celebrimbor, this first look also reveals the much-anticipated creation of more Rings.

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 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 Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' season two will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada exclusively on Prime Video.
