MUMBAI: Prime Video series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” will return with its second season on August 29, the streaming service announced on Tuesday.
At Amazon’s inaugural upfront presentation this morning in New York City, the streamer unveiled a teaser as well as key art for the show, which is primarily based on the appendices of “The Lord of the Rings”, specifically the description of Middle-earth’s Second Age, and includes younger versions of some of the key characters from the original trilogy.
Set thousands of years before the events of JRR Tolkien’s famed book series, the series follows the forging of the original rings of power that allowed the Dark Lord Sauron to spread evil across Middle Earth.
