The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 will debut with the first three episodes, with additional new episodes streaming each week until the gripping season finale on October 3, 2024.

This new trailer reveals Middle-earth in the throes of discord, sown by Sauron, and the deception and
manipulation that led to the crafting of more of the titular Rings of Power. Weighty decisions rest on the shoulders of the realms of Eregion, Khazad-dûm, Lindon, Númenor, and the lands in-between, as the safety and peace of these kingdoms hang in the balance.

Here’s an overview of what to expect in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2:

In Season Two of The Rings of Power, Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without an army or ally, 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.

Building on Season One’s epic scope and ambition, the new season plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity. Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots—as friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all… each other.
