After two years, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is finally back with new episodes. Season two of the Lord of the Rings spinoff series premieres on Prime Video on Thursday (Aug. 29).
The Rings of Power is set thousands of years before the events in J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, with the epic drama following new and familiar characters battling a re-emergence of evil on Middle-earth. Season two finds Middle-earth in full-out war sown by Sauron, who makes his return after being cast out, per Amazon Studios.
The series takes viewers back to an era “in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.”
The first season of Rings of Fire premiered on Prime Video on Sept. 1, 2022. Morfydd Clark, Robert Aramayo, Benjamin Walker, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Ema Horvath and Owain Arthur are among the cast.
