If you already love the Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon, there’s now another fantasy prequel to add to your roster. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is coming to your small screens on Friday, September 2 — exclusively streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Set 5,000 years before Frodo Baggins’ story in the Oscar-winning Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Rings of Power, takes place during the Second Age of Middle Earth. The eight-episode series will cover a backstory from the appendices of The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkein, though it is not a direct adaptation of any of Tolkien’s epic novels. The Rings of Power follows the story of an ensemble cast from the island kingdom of Númenor as they confront evil forces in Middle Earth and carve out their legacies.
Watch the new Lord of the Rings series, plus other beloved shows including The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, Fleabag, The Summer I Turned Pretty, and more.
