'The Rings of Power' Season 2 promises epic battles and drama

There was a lot of buzz around the first season of "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" on Prime Video. First, there were rumors on the internet about billions of dollars spent on the rights and production. Then, when the first episodes appeared, the crew had to respond to racist comments about the series' characters. Despite the negative reviews, the creators of "The Rings of Power" had reason to celebrate. The viewership of the first season reached over 100 million viewers worldwide, who spent 32 billion minutes in front of their screens. The series attracted over 25 million viewers on its first day alone, becoming the biggest premiere in Prime Video's history.

The new trailer for the second season of "The Rings of Power" is already gaining traction on the internet. Its original English version on YouTube was viewed 15 million times in just a few days. Among the comments, you can find those where netizens admit that the trailer looks better than the entire first season. It's also clear that the second installment of Sauron's struggle for power will feature significantly more action scenes.

What can you expect? According to Prime Video: "This season features the long-awaited Siege of Eregion, a definitive battle in J.R.R. Tolkien’s history of the Second Age of Middle-earth, from which not everyone makes it out alive. The banners are raised, and the devastating war against Sauron is just beginning."

In the second season, we will see Sauron return. Banished by Galadriel, without an army or allies, the rising Dark Lord must rely on his cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, allowing him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his will. As friendships are tested and kingdoms begin to crumble, the forces of good - elves, dwarves, orcs, men, wizards, and Harfoots - will fight ever more fiercely to preserve what is most important to them: each other.

The first three episodes of the second season of "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" will debut on August 29, 2024. Subsequent episodes will air weekly until the season finale, which is scheduled for October 3.
