The final trailer of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is here, showcasing everything from new villains to how the namesake Rings of Power will wreak havoc on the world of Middle-earth. Watch the

The series, set in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Second Age, takes place in an era long before the events of Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings saga and paves the way for that eventual quest to destroy the One Ring. But before there was the One Ring, there were the other Rings of Power, which is where we find the action heading into Season 2, which premiered August 29 exclusively on Prime Video.
The new trailer reveals Middle-earth in the throes of discord, sown by Sauron (Charlie Vickers), and the deception and manipulation that lead to the crafting of more of the titular Rings of Power. Unlikely alliances are forged amid 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 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.
In Season 2 of The Rings of Power, Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), without an army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will. Building on Season 1’s epic scope and ambition, the new season plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity.
Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots—as friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all: one another.
The first season of The Rings of Power was a massive global success and one of the top original series for Prime Video, viewed by more than 100 million people worldwide and driving more Prime sign-ups worldwide during its launch window than any other previous content to date.
Season 2 episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power premiered on August 29, exclusively on Prime Video, with the gripping season finale debuting on October 3. Stream the first two seasons, and catch up with a recap of The Rings of Power Season 1, right now on Prime Video.
