The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power release date, plot, cast, trailer and every latest updates

Amazon Prime Video’s most awaited The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is coming in later this year, and fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic fantasy books are excited for the series to them take back to Middle-Earth. Executive producers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay likewise serve as showrunners for the big-budget series.

Set thousands of years before the events of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings films, it shows details Sauron’s forging of the Rings of Power, including the iconic One Ring.

The Rings of Power Plot: What is this epic fantasy about?

While The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are set at the finish of the Third Age of Middle-Earth, The Rings of Power is set during the Second Age, and the story is about the rise of Sauron, the Dark Lord who manipulates the beings of Middle-Earth to hatch plans to sow chaos and bend the world to his will.

The Second Age is a period that spans over thousands of years, passing on a lot of room for stories to be told in The Rings of Power. While the show will probably spin around in on the arrival of Sauron — diminished after a battle against the Elves at the behest of the First Dark Lord, Morgoth — and the forging of the Rings of Power, this time of the Middle-Earth sees the fall of the island kingdom Númenor.

The show won’t simply highlight events from the Second Age. Our first look at the series teased a glimpse back at the earliest years of creation in Tolkien’s vast reckoning of Arda, the universe of his epic fantasy books.

Is The Rings of Power based on a book by J.R.R. Tolkien?

On June 22, 2022, HarperCollins announced that a new Tolkien publication, The Fall of Númenor, will be published on November 10, 2022. Edited by Tolkien expert Brian Sibley, the book brings together J.R.R. writings of the Second Age – the tales that the forthcoming The Rings of Power TV series is based on.

“The book brings many of Tolkien’s writings together, and uses The Tale of Years in the Appendices of The Lord of the Rings in order to present the content in an order and a style that works well for readers,” the Tolkien Society stated.
