The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power transports audiences to the legendary Second Age of Middle-earth, a time of epic heroes, rising and fallen kingdoms, and the forging of great powers. Set thousands of years before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the series unravels a grand tale where hope teeters on the edge and Tolkien’s greatest villain threatens to engulf the world in darkness. Beginning in an era of fragile peace, an ensemble of both familiar and new characters must face the long-dreaded return of evil. From the Misty Mountains to the majestic elf capital of Lindon, from the island kingdom of Númenor to the farthest reaches of the map, the show explores breathtaking landscapes and the legacies of those who shaped Middle-earth’s fate.
Fans can expect more breathtaking battles, deep dives into Middle-earth’s legendary past, and the kind of cinematic spectacle that has made the show a global sensation. Season 3 is coming—are you ready?
