Today, the final trailer before the Season Two premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power debuted.

It reveals Middle-earth in the throes of discord, sown by Sauron, and the deception and manipulation that lead to the crafting of more of the titular Rings of Power. Unlikely alliances are forged amidst fire, and true friendships are tested. Dangers no longer lurk in shadow, but slither their way into the light. Weighty decisions rest on the shoulders of the realms of Eregion, Khazad-dûm, Lindon, Númenor, and the lands in-between, as the safety and peace of these kingdoms hang in the balance. 

This season features the long-awaited Siege of Eregion, a definitive battle in J.R.R. Tolkien’s history of the Second Age of Middle-earth, from which not everyone makes it out alive. The banners are raised, and the devastating war against Sauron is just beginning. 

The first three Season Two episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will premiere on August 29, 2024, with additional new episodes streaming each week thereafter until the gripping season finale on October 3, 2024.
