The long-awaited Prime Video The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is scheduled to debut on the platform on Thursday, September 1, 2022. The fantasy series takes place several centuries before the events depicted in The Hobbit Y The Lord of the rings Films.
With a budget of around a billion dollars, it is the most expensive series ever made and the production values seem impressive. The series has already been renewed for a second season. Without further ado, take a look at everything we know so far about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2: what we know so far
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power takes viewers several centuries before the events witnessed in The Hobbit and the LOTR films. The official synopsis for the series, according to Amazon Prime Video, reads:
“Starting in a time of relative peace, we follow a cast of characters facing the resurgence of evil in Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of Lindon, the stunning island kingdom of Númenor, and the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will create legacies that will endure long after they are gone. ‘
According to Deadline, the show was renewed for a second season in 2019 before pre-production on the first season began. Additionally, filming for season 2 will begin in October 2022. According to TIME magazine, the second season of the show will feature Círdan, one of the most popular characters in the franchise. Although not many details about his role in the second season are known at this time, fans can hope that the show does his character justice.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is filmed in several beautiful New Zealand locations, including the Hauraki Gulf, the Coromandel Peninsula, and more. Amazon had previously announced that the show’s second season would be filmed in the UK.
According to Screenrant, showrunner Patrick McKay said his decision to move filming for the series to the UK in season 2 is related to author JRR Tolkien’s writings on the British Isles. So in the second season, fans can expect a whole new setting, quite different from the first season and the movies, all of which are set in New Zealand.
Details about the plot of season 2 are currently being kept under wraps. According to various reports online, the showrunners have very ambitious plans for the second installment, and fans can expect more new and intriguing characters. The second season is expected to premiere sometime in 2023.
