Epic new trailer Amazon's new 'Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' has been unveiled

Fans have just gotten another sneak peek at Amazon Studio's highly anticipated Lord of the Rings series.

A brand new trailer for the upcoming series - which is set thousands of years before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy - were released today and we are so excited. 

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is an epic and ambitious telling of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fabled Second Age of Middle-earth, and launches globally on Prime Video on September 2, 2022.

The new two-minute, 30-second teaser trailer delves even deeper into this series adaptation, giving fans the first look at some of Tolkien's legendary characters from the island kingdom of Númenor. The characters are Isildur (Maxim Baldry), Elendil (Lloyd Owen), Pharazôn (Trystan Gravelle), and Queen Regent Míriel (Cynthia Addai-Robinson). Additional Númenóreans also recently announced are Kemen (Leon Wadham) and Eärien (Ema Horvath).

The teaser trailer also highlights some of the realms viewers will visit over the course of the eight-part series, including the Elven realms of Lindon and Eregion, the Dwarven realm Khazad-dûm, the Southlands, the Northernmost Wastes, the Sundering Seas, and the island kingdom of Númenór.  

Also featured are key cast members Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), Elrond (Robert Aramayo), High King Gil-galad (Benjamin Walker), the Harfoots Marigold Brandyfoot (Sara Zwangobani), Elanor ‘Nori’ Brandyfoot (Markella Kavenagh), Poppy Proudfellow (Megan Richards) and Sadoc Burrows (Sir Lenny Henry), The Stranger (Daniel Weyman), the Dwarves King Durin III (Peter Mullan) and Prince Durin IV (Owain Arthur), Halbrand (Charlie Vickers), and Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova).

The show was created by Patrick McKay and JD Payne, features 22 stars, and will cover multiple storylines.

"It's the story of the creation of all those powers, where they came from, and what they did to each of those races," McKay says.

He adds the series is aimed at a wide variety of age groups.

McKay shared the driving question behind the production, teasing what could be in store when LOTR fans are transported back to Middle Earth: "Can we come up with the novel Tolkien never wrote and do it as the mega-event series that could only happen now?"

The multi-season drama will launch on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on Friday, September 2, with new episodes available weekly.
