Sauron returns! Fans at Comic-Con International (SDCC 2024) got an exclusive first look at Season 2 of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power today, which you can now watch here! The Amazon Prime Video series returns later this summer…. But fans got to hear from the cast today in advance of the show’s sophomore season release.

You can read the official Season 2 synopsis below:

In Season Two of The Rings of Power, Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without an army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will. Building on Season One’s epic scope and ambition, the new season plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity. As friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good—Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots—will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all: each other.
