Middle-earth will return to Amazon Prime Video in just over a month, and despite the lukewarm reception from critics and the public, the second season promises to develop a story full of epic and darkness. The characters have already been outlined and their motivations have been put on the board. The Second Age was a time of relative peace, until Sauron made a move, so everything has suddenly changed. In the new episodes, the Dark Lord’s plan will be put into practicewhich will culminate in a battle unprecedented in the series.
In an interview with Total Film, showrunners Patrick McKay and JD Payne explained that While the first season focuses on the heroes, the second will do the same with the villains. “This time, Sauron’s plans put everything into motion. Adar and his troop of orcs; Galadriel, Elrond and Gil-galad and their armies of elves. “They will all collide together in the most ambitious battle our series has seen yet, a battle in which many top contenders may not come out alive.”
This is the main protagonist of the second season of ‘The Rings of Power’
In the second season of ‘The Rings of Power’, the elf Celebrimbor, who already appeared in season 1 as a minor character, will gain importance, to the point that McKay and Payne consider that he will be “the main protagonist”, since his relationship with Sauron will be fundamental within the dynamics of the series. On the other hand, the new episodes will reflect “the fractured relationship between King Durin and his son,” which will take on “a greater dimension.”
‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ will return next August 29 to Amazon Prime Video. This production has nothing to do with Peter Jackson’s cinematic universe, which will continue with three new films.
