‘Rings of Power’ Season 2 Trailer: Sauron Rises to Power in ‘Lord of the Rings’ Prequel; August Release Date Revealed


In the "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" Season 2 trailer, Middle-earth villain, Sauron, looms as the world's growing threat.

All sorts of menacing creatures — orcs, creeping tree vines, an oozing morass of wormy goo — appear to pollute the land, while many of the characters from Season 1 ready themselves for battle, including Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), Elrond (Robert Aramayo), Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova) and Isildur (Maxim Baldry). Other key “Lord of the Rings” cameos include Mount Doom, one of the Great Eagles, what could be the Watcher in the Water (or one of its early progenitors), and what appears to be Barad-dûr — a.k.a. Serkis will also direct the film, tentatively titled “The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum,” and the studio has slated it for release in 2026.
