Across various social media platforms, the trailer revealed the series title: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The title already gives an indication that it will be about the different rings. So far, viewers only know the One Ring from the movies, but there's a lot more. The series wants to go into the
Second Age of Middle-earth
, which is well before the events we know from the "Lord of the Rings" films. According to a report from Amazon Prime Video, the Lord of the Rings series "takes viewers into an era when

, kingdoms rose to glory and fell, unlikely heroes were tested, the...
Hope hung by a thread
and one of the greatest villains ever to have come from Tolkien threatened to engulf the whole world in darkness.”

It continues: "
The series begins in a time of relative peace and follows an ensemble cast of familiar and new characters
as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil in Middle-earth.
From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elven capital of Lindon, to the stunning island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest corners of the map, these kingdoms and characters will leave a legacy that will live on long after they die.”
