The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 will premiere later this summer, promising a darker tone compared to previous depictions of Middle-earth. This next season will focus on the lore-rich world’s villains, as stated by showrunners Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne to Total Film in their new issue.
“We like to say that Season 1 was primarily about our heroes,” McKay and Payne said. “But Season 2 is all about the villains.” The recently released trailer’s reveal of showing Sauron at the height of his power, now with a new disguise.
“This time, Sauron’s agenda sets everything in motion: Adar [Sam Hazeldine, taking over the role from Joseph Mawle] and his army of orcs; Galadriel [Morfydd Clark], Elrond [Robert Aramayo], and Gil-galad [Benjamin Walker] and their armies of elves–all of which will come crashing together in the most ambitious battle our show has seen yet, a battle from which many big players may not make it out alive,” the showrunners explained.
