Lavish The Rings of Power S2 trailer debuts at San Diego Comic-Con
Get ready for the second season of Prime Video's original series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Among the many highlights of last weekend's San Diego Comic-Con was the official full trailer for the second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Sauron has returned and is plotting his takeover of Middle-earth. Will donning the titular rings make the wearers his adversaries-or his collaborators?
(Spoilers for S1 below.)
As previously reported, Prime Video made a major investment in The Rings of Power when it acquired the rights to the source material from the Tolkien estate, even committing to multiple seasons upfront. Pretty much everyone guessed long before the S1 finale's reveal that Halbrand (Charlie Vickers), king of the Southlands, was Sauron in disguise. Fans even dubbed him "Hot Sauron." He took advantage of the fact that the elvish light of Valar was fading, putting the race of elves in danger of extinction unless they returned to Valinor to preserve their immortality. The discovery of the precious ore mithril gave the elves another option championed by Elrond (Robert Aramayo), Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), and the elven smith Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards).
