series profile
The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power series is set in the heart of the Second Age of Middle-earth, a time when the famous Rings of Power were forged, before the events of The Lord of the Rings books and films. The plot takes place across multiple locations, including the Elven realms of Lindon and Eregion, Khazad-dûm the Dwarven Realm, the Southlands, and the legendary island of Númenor.
When revealing the series' full title, series showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, spoke about what fans will be able to discover there: “The Rings of Power” brings together all the major story arcs of the Second Age of Middle-earth: the forging of the Rings, the rise of Sauron, Dark Lord, the epic tale of Númenor, and the Last Alliance of Elves and Men.” The opportunity for the series to show more about the other Rings of Power:”Until now, fans have not been able to see screen than the stories of the One Ring, but before there was one, there were many more… and we are thrilled to be able to share their story.”
Where is Sauron ? Who is the Stranger ? When will the rings of power be forged ? So many questions that find answers in the final episode of season 1. Episode 8 gives interesting information on the identity of the Stranger. If the Mystics are convinced that he is none other than their lord Sauron, he actually reveals himself to be good when he takes their staff in hand. They call him by a name: “Istar”, which means wise, or magician. In the universe of the Lord of the Rings, Tolkien described five Istari: Gandalf, Saruman, Radagast but also the Blue Mages Alatar and Pallando. It is difficult for the moment to know exactly which one corresponds to the Stranger but, for now, the most numerous theories evoke either Gandalf or one of the two Blue Wizards. In any case, at the end of season 1, he leaves for an adventure in the East of Middle-earth in the company of Nori.
200% Deposit Bonus up to €3,000 180% First Deposit Bonus up to $20,000As for Sauron, Episode 8 now confirms that he was indeed hiding under the guise of Halbrand. Galadriel discovers that the line of kings of the Southlands died out a millennium ago and that Halbrand has been deceiving her from the beginning. He reveals his true identity and even offers to rule Middle-earth with him, something Galadriel firmly refuses. Halbrand/Sauron leaves the kingdom of Eregion for Mordor at the end of the episode, not without having first delivered the solution of the mithril forge to Celebrimbor.
As expected, the Elves successfully forge the first three Rings of Power in The Lord of the Rings episode 8: The Rings of Power. The operation is carried out by melting the dagger of Finrod, Galadriel's brother, which is composed of silver and gold from the eternal realm of Valinor. In doing so, Celebrimbor manages to compose an alloy with the mithril that Durin gave to Elrond. The three rings, created out of a desire for balance, are then set with a gem each and must return to the elven lords who hope to save the existence of their species in Middle-earth.
Since the start of the Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power series, viewers have had plenty of theories about the identity of “The Stranger” played by Daniel Weyman. Episode 8 confirms that the character is none other than an Istar, a magician, which could potentially make him the interpreter of Gandalf millennia before the Lord of the Rings trilogy. However, fans wonder about the relevance of this choice and the writers themselves did not want to confirm this theory. The identity of The Stranger and the potential presence of Gandalf in The Rings of Power is therefore more than ever in question for the rest of the series! Perhaps we will learn more when season 2 airs?

&Thanks to a video posted on social networks, Amazon Prime Video has lifted the veil on the creative team working on the series adapting the universe of the Lord of the Rings. Director Juan Antonio Bayona (Jurassic World 2) has shot the first two episodes. He has also chosen to work with the same executive producer as for his previous films, Belén Atienza. Bruce Richmond, producer of Game of Thrones, Westworld and The Leftovers will also be executive producer of the series, as will Gene Kelly, (Boardwalk Empire, Westworld) as Lyndsey Weber (Star Trek Without Limits, 10 Cloverfield Lane).
Responsible for adapting the original signed material. J.R.R. Tolkien : J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay will be surrounded by a team of experienced screenwriters ;eacute;s. Among them, we find authors who have worked on on Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, 13 Reasons Why, Game of Thrones, The Sopranos or Stranger Things< /em>. Among the creative teams that will have the heavy task of setting up the universe of the Lord of the Rings, we find the costume designer Kate Hawley (Suicide Squad, Crimson Peak), Oscar-winning production designer Rick Heinrichs (Sleepy Hollow, Star Wars 8), Oscar-winning special effects supervisor Jason Smith (Avengers 1, Super 8, The Revenant). Finally, let us note the presence in the credits of John Howe, who notably illustrated numerous editions of the Lord of the Rings books and worked ; as a concept artist on Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy.
The first season of the series The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power was filmed between New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It must be said that New Zealand ;lande had already been the setting for Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. The series was therefore part of this tradition of using the south-east Pacific country as a backdrop. Season 2 began filming in the UK in late 2022 and is also expected to see sequences filmed in New Zealand.
