Check out the new 'Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' trailer

 

I didn't realize I felt starved for new Lord of the Rings content until now. Amazon Studios dropped a new trailer for its big-budget series, The Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power. This series takes place during the Second Age of Middle-Earth, a thousand years before the events of Lord of the Rings. It takes inspiration from J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion but features characters and a completely original plot.

It will chronicle the rise of Sauron and the forging of the rings. Galadriel (played by Morfydd Clark) tries to convince elvish people that evil is still lurking on Middle-Earth. And she takes it upon herself to do something about it when people don't listen to her. Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will debut on September 2 on Prime Video.
