We are a week away from The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2’s August 29 debut on Prime Video, so in industry parlance, it’s time to up the ante on the promo. Last night, Prime Video posted a short promotional clip on YouTube delving into “The Faces of Sauron” in Season 2. We see the typical mix of behind-the-scenes footage, talent interviews, and preview clips in the two minute video, with Charlie Vickers teasing Sauron’s new “Annatar” form. (Annatar is how Sauron disguises himself in J.R.R. Tolkien‘s books to trick the elves, specifically Charles Edward‘s Celebrimbor,...

The 20 Rings of Power Explained—Including the One Sauron Used to Seduce Middle Earth into Evil

In J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings books (and the films that followed), only one ring was the main focus of the entire trilogy. The Dark Lord Sauron forged a master ring—the “One to Rule Them All”—that granted him power over all other magical rings of the Elves, Dwarves, and men of Middle Earth, which he had a part in its creation. Those who don’t follow Tolkien lore might not know much about the other rings–three for the elves, seven for the dwarves, and nine for men–at least until now. The Rings of Power’s season 1 finale finally showed the formation of the Three Elven Rings. And now, the second season will focus on more rings created by the master smith Celebrimbor of the Elves of Eregion under the watchful eye of Sauron disguised as Halbrand and Annatar, the benevolent “Lord of Gifts.”

Middle-earth is about to be plunged into darkness in the second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the sort it hasn't seen since the time of Melkor, the one later known as the Dark Lord Morgoth. Sauron (Charlie Vickers) is set to be the harbinger of darkness as he continues to grow in power. The second season will see heroes and villains confront one another. However, a battle between the forces of good and evil won't be the only interesting thing that will happen in season two. The highly anticipated second season will see the long-awaited live-action debut of Tom Bombadil, played by Rory Kinnear.

Amazon Prime’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has kicked off its second season, and fans are buzzing with anticipation to see how the storylines will evolve. The first season of The Rings of Power had its work cut out for it. There was a whole new era to set up—the Second Age, a period less familiar to those who know Middle-earth mainly through The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings trilogy written by J.R.R. Tolkien and directed by Peter Jackson. From the geopolitical tensions of the Elven kingdoms to the ominous stirrings of evil in the East, there was a lot to cover. Among the many intriguing elements introduced in the show was the mysterious figure known as “The Stranger,” later revealed to be an Istar.

My friend has a theory that C.H.U.D. is a Home Alone prequel. The 1984 cult classic stars John Heard and Daniel Stern as a photographer and a reverend who investigate a series of missing homeless people and uncover a terrifying conspiracy beneath the streets of New York. Six years later, Heard played the dad in Home Alone, while Stern starred opposite Joe Pesci as a would-be-burglar. The theory goes that Stern’s reverend gave up religion for a life of crime and decided to target his old friend, who he knew was now living a life of suburban luxury in Illinois.

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Alien: Romulus. Alien: Romulus marks a return to one of horror’s most sacred franchises, with Ridley Scott leaving the director’s chair after his two prequels, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. Luckily, the job was given to Fede Álvarez, whose genre expertise proved to be a win for the Alien universe. Coming off the tail of Scott’s prequels, Alien: Romulus brings the franchise back to its horror roots, along with its beloved iconography. This is most obvious in the return of the original xenomorph and its classic three-stage life cycle — but that's not all. Ridley Scott's prequels focused on universe-building, but in doing so, also took a controversial departure from the traditional xenomorph designs. Alien: Romulus, however, is an exciting return to form, reintroducing the likes of facehuggers and chestbursters in some terrifying updates. Alongside faithful depictions, Álvarez also offers new visions of terror — most notably the grotesque, acid-sputtering wall cocoon, a never-before-seen part of xeno-morphology. Coined “The Chrysalis” (the sequence's soundtrack title), the cocoon is a major development in franchise lore, and might be Álvarez’s most successful risk in Alien: Romulus.

Editor's Note: This article contains spoilers for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2.The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has finally returned for Season 2 with a dark story and new actors. Some additions to the show introduce new characters to the world, but others portray those we have already seen. Sam Hazeldine takes over the role of Adar from Joseph Mawle, and strangely, Jack Lowden shares the character of Sauron with Charlie Vickers. Sauron's identity was a mystery throughout Season 1, only to reveal in the final episode that the self-proclaimed King of the Southlands, Halbrand, was actually the Dark Lord. This deceit left Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), who considered Halbrand a friend, in a precarious situation after she had invited the enemy into her home and near Celebrimbor's (Charles Edwards) project to save the Elves' dying tree with mithril.

Alien: Romulus is continuing its stunning box office triumph, leaving fans wondering what’s next for the Alien franchise. The answer, of course, is another prequel. An Alien TV series, Alien: Earth, has just wrapped production under showrunner Noah Hawley, best known for his work on Fargo. But what will Hawley’s Alien: Earth be like, and how will it fill the gaps between the existing prequel films and the rest of the Alien saga? Prometheus and Covenant created a massive mystery about the true origins of the xenomorphs, and the answer to the riddle might be found in a new hint from Hawley that the show could “be the next 10 years” of his life.

This Lord of the Rings article contains spoilers for The Rings of Power season 2. The Rings of Power season 2 has already introduced a number of new characters, but perhaps the most mysterious is the Dark Wizard played by Game of Thrones alum Ciarán Hinds. Briefly seen in one of the trailers for the series as well as in The Stranger’s (Daniel Weyman) vision at the start of episode 1 and again at his stronghold in episode 2, we don’t know much yet about this Dark Wizard, other than the fact that he seems to be connected to the Stranger’s true identity and his journey to Rhûn.
