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 Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' Season 2: Release date, how to watch, stream

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.

Actor Van Johnson, who died in 2007, was one of Hollywood's ideal films idols. In the 1940s, the charming screen icon was box office gold, and remained a popular presence on TV in shows like Murder, She Wrote (which starred his good friend Angela Lansbury).

For all of the impressive fantasy imagery that it had to offer, the first season of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power proved to be disappointingly empty. A large portion of its episodes was dedicated to the search for a villain without a clear face — the infamous Sauron — and that only further muddied the stakes and storytelling of a season that already felt too meandering, lethargic, and all-around vague. Even when Sauron’s long-hidden identity was finally revealed in the season 1 finale, The Rings of Power still didn’t seem like it knew what show it wanted to be. Its debut season’s eventual emergence as a prolonged prologue to the series’ actual story only made its first eight episodes seem both worse and slighter in retrospect.

Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 Premiere Recap: An Ominous Alliance Looms — Grade Episode 1!

The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power has breathed new life into J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, bringing fans to an almost unrecognizable Middle-earth. The Amazon Prime Video series delves deep into the Second Age, years before the forging of the 20 Rings of Power, including the One Ring. In this time, Elves, Dwarves, and Men live in long-forgotten places like Lindon, Khazad-dûm, and the Southlands, while an ancient evil lurks in the void and another waits in the shadows. Wherever the show transports viewers to, though, it would be nothing without the characters, some more familiar than others. Without them, the spectacular settings and themes of the show would not come to life.
