The first official trailer for The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power has dropped, and it's once again quite clear that Amazon spent $500 million on this show.
The live-action fantasy series is set several centuries before Bilbo Baggins sets out from the Shire in search of adventure. The show will instead follow a new group of characters across Middle-Earth as we learn exactly how the Rings of Power were forged. Expect plenty of epic battles, gorgeous vistas, and fantasy politics. Classic Lord Of The Rings, in other words.
Take a look at the trailer below!

"Amazon Studios' forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history," reads the official synopsis. "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."
The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power airs on Amazon Prime September 2, 2022.
