The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (new Amazon TV series).
Amazon Studio’s new fantasy TV series finally has a name, and it’s… The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Streaming on Amazon Prime on the 2nd September 2022.
It takes the stories of Middle-Earth’s Second Age to the TV screen for the first time.
This drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will transport viewers to a time when great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were put to the test, hope hung by the thinnest of threads, and the greatest villain to ever emerge from Tolkien’s pen threatened to engulf the entire world in darkness.
The series begins in a period of relative calm and follows an ensemble cast of people, both known and new, as they face the long-feared return of evil to Middle-earth.
These countries and characters will, we are told, carve out legacies that will live on long after they are gone, from the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains to the gorgeous woodlands of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the stunning island kingdom of Nmenor, to the furthest corners of the world.
