Amazon Prime Video has debuted a new The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power trailer ahead of its September 1 premiere, which consists of the first two episodes.
Watch below.
The first two episodes will also air in Cinemark theaters on August 31, so if you happen to live near one, check your local Cinemark for tickets.
The debut episodes and subsequent episodes released will follow a weekly, single-episode rollout, with the episodes launching at the same time around the world, so that all fans can experience them simultaneously. The finale of the eight-episode first season will air on 14 October.
Epic drama is set thousands of years before
Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history.
This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.
Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.
From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.
