In 2022, Prime Video added The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series to its catalog, which quickly became a massive hit. The story takes place prior to the events narrated in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, taking viewers back to a legendary era.

The greatest villain created by Tolkien, whose threat will profoundly influence the future, attempts to plunge the world into an era of darkness and terror.

The first installment of the series was watched by more than 100 million people worldwide, with 25 million global viewers on its first day, setting the record for the biggest premiere in the platform's history. Due to its success, Prime Video renewed the project for a second season. In fact, according to the first previews, everyone anticipates the imminent arrival of the mighty Sauron as the great villain of this story.

According to the official synopsis: “In the second season of The Rings of Power, Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without an army or allies, 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.”

The cast includes Charlie Vickers, Morfydd Clark, Robert Aramayo, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Owain Arthur and Sophia Nomvete. It is also official that Rory Kinnear will play the charismatic Tom Bombadil in the second installment.
