The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (season 1)

The series will tell the story of the legends of the Second Age of Middle-earth on the screen for the first time. The epic drama will take place thousands of years before the events of John R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, taking viewers back to an era when great powers were forming and kingdoms were flourishing and turning to rubble, heroes were being tested, hope was hanging by thin threads, and the greatest villain Tolkien ever wrote threatened to cast the entire world into darkness. Beginning in relatively peaceful times, the series will tell the story of a group of characters, both familiar and new, who confront the long resurgence of evil in Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains to the majestic forests of the elf capital Lyndon, the breathtaking island kingdom of Numenor and the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and heroes will preserve a legacy that will live long after them.rn
