Prime Video's new original series, Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
With HBO's House of the Dragon debuting to a record nearly 10 million viewers, we might have forgotten that another fantastic new series to big budget waits in the wings. Prime Video reminded us of this by unveiling a new trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Based on notes and lore written by J.R.R. Tolkien, the eight-episode series will revolve around the late author's "Second Age" era. According to the official description:
This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. The Hobbitand Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to a time when great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung on the thinnest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever sprang from Tolkien's pen loomed to cover the whole world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows a cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the dreaded re-emergence of evil in Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elven capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the far reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that will last long after they left.
As we previously reported, the big cast includes Morfydd Clark as a young Galadriel, "now a tough warrior at the head of the armies of the North", who is determined to hunt down his brother's killer. She finds herself adrift at sea with a new character named Halbrand (Charles Vickers). Charles Edwards plays Celebrimbor, whom hardcore LOTR fans will recognize as the elven smith who forged the legendary rings. Robert Aramayo plays a younger version of Elrond, and Maxim Baldry will play the infamous Isildur, ancestor of Aragorn, who ultimately defeated Sauron but fell victim to the corrupting power of the One Ring. Peter Mullan plays the dwarf king Durin III.
There is also a race of hobbits known as the Harfoots, who mostly try to stay hidden and keep to themselves. But two curious young hobbits, Poppy Proudfellow and Nori Brandyfoot (played by Megan Richard and Markella Kavenagh respectively), are more adventurous and somehow meet The Stranger (Daniel Weyman), a mysterious man "falling from the sky in a fiery meteor". .

The first teaser landed in February during the Super Bowl and gave us stunning visuals, in line with the supposed $500 million budget for the series. Prime Video released a nearly two-and-a-half-minute trailer in July, two weeks before San Diego Comic-Con. This was followed by
