Rings of Power’s trailer is a great look at Amazon’s Lord of the Rings

Amazon’s Lord of the Rings spinoff series now has its longest and most in-depth trailer. The new trailer, which was released on Thursday, gets into details about the show’s plot, and gives us glimpses of the some of the series’ biggest characters. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of PowerAmazon Prime Video will premiere the film on September 2.

The trailer still doesn’t dive too far into the series’ story, but it does let us know that it involves Galadriel’s (Morfydd Clark) attempt to stop a great evil, which some believe is no longer a threat. We also know that the series will cover Middle-earth’s Second Age, a time long before the events of The Lord of the RingsSauron’s rise to power meant that the Middle-earthians had to fight to stop him.

The trailer includes a few other characters from the show as well, including Sadoc Burrows (Lenny Henry), High King Gil-galad (Benjamin Walker), and Arondir (Ismael Cruz Cordova), who all seem like they’ll play important roles in the series.

This series had an extended build-up up to the first trailer. It featured two trailers, one very short and posted on YouTube. Another was only available on Amazon Prime, but it made its way to YouTube several days later.
