“War has come to Middle-earth,” are the opening words in the trailer for the second season of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and the following preview confirms this warning.
The streaming service announces: “This season includes the long-awaited Siege of Eregion, a decisive battle in J.R.R. Tolkien‘s story of the Second Age of Middle-earth, from which not everyone comes out alive. The banners are raised and the devastating war against Sauron has only just begun.”
The siege is touted as a massive battle, complete with catapults, cave trolls and masses of orc warriors fighting against the forces of good. “Eregion must not fall,” Robert Aramayowarns the elf Elrond. “It would be a blow for all of Middle Earth.”
Charlie Vickers plays the cunning Dark Lord in Amazon’s series, and while he is Morfydd Clark“He must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power,” Prime Video continues.
Sauron created 19 rings and distributed them to the different peoples of Middle Earth to bring them under the power of his One Ring. The trailer shows how they are already working their dark magic on the wearers.
The streaming service continues: “Friendships are tested and kingdoms begin to crumble” and “the forces of goodwill fight ever more valiantly to keep what matters most to them… each other.”
The first three episodes of the second season of “The Rings of Power” will air on August 29th, with new episodes streaming every week until the season finale on October 3rd.
