Building on season one’s epic scope and ambition, the new season of “The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power” 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 on the brink of calamity.

As friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, elves, dwarves, orcs, men, wizards, and Harfoots face a growing struggle. In the face of mounting adversity, the forces of good fight fiercely to hold on to what matters to them the most: each other.
