Amazon’s Prime Video has finally revealed the first trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2, also confirming its premiere date.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is now set to premiere exclusively via Prime Video on August 29th.

A direct follow-up to the original Amazon series, The Rings of Power season 2 will follow the events in Middle-earth’s Second Age with a focus on the rise of Sauron (Charlie Vickers), who gets a proper reveal in the new trailer.

Returning cast includes Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), Elrond (Robert Aramayo), Isildur (Maxim Baldry), Arondir (Ismael Cruz Cordova), and more. As the original tale goes – Sauron disguises himself as an elf to forge the titular rings of power with Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards), securing Sauron’s rise to power.

The new trailer also gives a very brief look at the character known as the Stranger (Daniel Weyman), who may or may not be an early appearance of Gandalf – the most famous of all Middle-earth’s wizards (Istari). There’s also a look at Mount Doom, a Great Eagle, and various battles and scenes.

Earlier this month another new Lord of the Rings cinematic adaptation was revealed – The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, a new live-action movie directed and starring Gollum actor Andy Serkis. Original film trilogy director Peter Jackson is producing the movie.

Here’s the first trailer for The Rings of Power season 2:

An animated film in the franchise, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, is releasing on December 13th and is set 250 years before the events of The Lord of the Rings. It stars Brian Cox as the Rohan King Helm Hammerhand.
