During their Hall H presentation earlier today, Prime Video debuted a brand new extended SDCC trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season two, offering an unbelievable new look at the upcoming batch of episodes that begins streaming next month.

The action-packed trailer emphasizes the long-dreaded return of the legendary villain Sauron, marking the resurgence of darkness and evil in Middle-earth after years of hard-won peace across its realms. It also showcases the forging of more Rings of Power, created through Sauron's powers of deception and manipulation.

We also get to catch a glimpse of a number of beasts that are set to appear this season, including a young Shelob, an army of Barrow-wights, Hill-troll Damrod, a Sea Worm, Ents, and more!

In attendance today were showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, and main cast members Morfydd Clark ("Galadriel"), Charlie Vickers ("Sauron"), Cynthia Addai-Robinson ("Queen Regent Míriel"), Robert Aramayo ("Elrond"), Maxim Baldry ("Isildur"), Ismael Cruz Córdova ("Arondir"), Charles Edwards ("Celebrimbor"), Trystan Gravelle ("Pharazôn"), Sam Hazeldine ("Adar"), Ema Horvath ("Eärien"), Tyroe Muhafidin ("Theo"), Sophia Nomvete ("Princess Disa"), Lloyd Owen ("Elendil"), Megan Richards ("Poppy Proudfellow"), Benjamin Walker ("Gil-galad"), and Daniel Weyman ("The Stranger").

The upcoming second season will consist of eight episodes, with four installments directed by Charlotte Brändström, who helmed two episodes in season one and also recently directed the third episode of FX's Shōgun

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power starts streaming, exclusively on Prime Video, on August 29!

Watch the official trailer below:

About The Rings of Power Season 2: Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will. Building on Season 1’s epic scope and ambition, Season 2 of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity. Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots… as friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all… each other.

@narrow290 -

Glad to see others who enjoy this one!

I was never a big Lord of the Rings diehard to begin with, I don't think I even read the full books to completion, so maybe thats why Rings of Power doesn't bother me as much as it does others, I have no loyalty to the lore.

I thought S1 was a bit slow at times but by the mid season point it'd done a good job of getting me hooked.

@TrentCrimm - Excellent! I never read them all the way either. Did read the Hobbit and I studied the compendium. You’re probably right! You certainly are about the first season being slow had some janky writing but I still enjoyed it for the most part. It appears they have a better script this rip! We’ll see!

So... has Merriam-Webster changed the definition of "epic" like they recently changed the definition of "woman"?

Dialogue is just as on the nose and un-Tolkien feeling as the first season based on this trailer. Action looks more fun and consistent but Celebrimbor not recognizing that Annatar is Halbrand in a blonde wig makes him and elves of Eregion look like morons. And if Halbrand switches forms before Celebrimbor's eyes, are you then telling me Galadriel never informed him or the elves that Halbrand is Sauron??? Just kinda tells me the storytelling is going to be just as dumb as season 1. But at least there will be battles I guess.

@McMurdo - was about to say the say thing. It looks great, but it's just not recognisable as or feels like Tolkien's world.

Didn't hate the first season but definitely had room for improvement. Hopefully the pacing is better.

bkmeijer1 - 7/26/2024, 6:02 PM
@ModHaterSLADE - agreed. Think they should either limit the number of narratives, or have them clearly work towards the same goal.

I still never finished the first season, but this trailer just sold me on watching season two, so I guess it is time to grind out the rest of season one.

Hated the first season and I expect this to continue butchering Tolkien's works.

Super12 - 7/26/2024, 7:15 PM
Yep, it's gonna be a mixed bag of epic scenes, lazy writing, beautiful visuals, abandoning of lore, really cool moments, and more cheapening of the source material. Hooray.

I'll watch it, but I wish I could fully enjoy it when I do. It's just not Tolkien's Middle-earth.

@Super12 - if they made something original, this would probably have more of a wow factor.

I just walked a friend through the OG trilogy, and it’s still incredible (the day I don’t shed a tear when everyone bows to the 4 hobbits is the day I need to go to therapy). It’s still the best and the nods to the Silmarillion are meaningful.

This Frankenstein of a show doesn’t possess a soul.

Well I hated every episode of the first season so I have to watch this too so I could complain about it after. But first I have to rewatch the first season and make sure I still hate it as much as I thought I hated it. ;)

EPIC?

I would settle for okay as opposed to sucking like season 1.

JustAWaffle - 7/27/2024, 12:27 AM
It’s got more flash than season 1, but still looks soulless.
