Insight into “The Rings of Power”

Shortly after the release date was announced September 02, 2022 on Prime Video Amazon already shared a summary: “Set thousands of years before the events of JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, this epic drama will transport viewers back to an era when great powers were forged, kingdoms rose and fell, unlikely heroes were put to the test posed, hope hung by the finest threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to envelop the whole world in darkness.(…)”

“The series begins at a time of relative peace and follows an ensemble cast of familiar and new characters. As they face 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 and the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will leave legacies that will live on long after they are gone.
