The second season of Amazon’s The Rings of Power is set to air soon and we will cover everything you need to show about the second season and what to expect going forward.
The Rings of Power Seaosn 2 Premiere Date
The second season of The Rings of Power premieres on August 29th on Amazon Prime Video. There will be eight episodes and the second season will start with three episodes releasing on the first day and will air until October 3rd with each episodes airing weekly.
What to Expect in Season Two
If you haven’t watched the first season of The Rings of Power, then do so now. This article will contain spoilers. In the first season, the mystery was about who Sauron was. In season two, we will learn more about Sauron and his origins. There will be two actors playing Sauron and we will be getting a flashback to a 1,000 years ago and learn of Sauron’s origins.
Fans of The Lord of the Rings will recognize important characters and scenes that are part of the LOTR mythos. This show covers many parts that the Lord of the Rings doesn’t cover and that may be for legal reasons. That hasn’t prevented LOTR from covering important lore that the LOTR books don’t cover. J.R.R. Tolkien built this world and has a lot of source material that will constantly provide material for the Amazon show.
Funny enough, an animated The Lord of the Rings movie will be released later this year called The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim. This is a prequel to The Lord of the Rings movies by Peter Jackson and is set 183 years before the events of the movie.
What We Know about The Rings of Power Season 2
As of right now, there is not much I can say about the show. I just watched the trailer and it looks amazing. The focus of the second season will be another war because those are always going on in The Lord of the Rings. But also, we will see the creation of the rings that the show was named after.
The first season focused on Gandalf and I am curious as to what happens with him. I imagine he will be tied to the main plot eventually but how long do we have to wait? I hate to be the one to say it but the plot of the first season was almost nonexistent. I am trying to remember the plots and nothing really comes to mind besides Sauron and Gandalf’s identities.
The second season needs to make us care more because that is a big reason why The Lord of the Rings works as well as it does. It is a battle of good versus evil and everything is clandestine. We know who the good guys are and who the bad guys are and what will happen if Sauron gets the ring. In The Rings of Power, there is no real good versus evil plot. It all feels like people searching for each other but never finding each other until the end.
Follow Along
Just like the first season, I will watch every episode and do a commentary after. I know the visuals will be breathtaking and that alone makes it worth watching. Sauron is carrying the show and I am curious how they will handle his backstory. And let’s see if they can make me care about the other characters on the show.
