On Friday, Amazon released the latest (and best) trailer for their upcoming Middle-earth series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Just like the last one, we can see or hear a few well-known characters (Galadriel, Sauron, etc.) along with plenty of less familiar ones surrounded by striking imagery. The trailer also gave us our best look at the orcs and combat. We even got a tantalizing glimpse of a sea monster at the 2:06 mark.
Watch it below.
Just when you think it’s over and you’re as hyped for the series as you can be, the Amazon logo is followed by a stinger of A FREAKING BALROG.
Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power debuts September 2 exclusively on Prime Video. Read Amazon’s official description of the series below:
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.
