Prime Video's globally renowned series, The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power is halfway through its second season, and Middle-earth is getting darker and bloodier than ever before. As Dark Lord Sauron makes a haunting return in a quest to rule the world, viewers are engulfed in a nail-biting journey with elves, orcs, dwarfs, and harfoots. With each passing episode, the Dark Lord grows stronger, edging closer to fulfilling his sinister plan through deception, lies, and manipulation. This season, Sauron's influence quietly tightens its grip on people's minds as he forges the Rings of Power. It's for the first time that fans can witness the evil manifested in a human form, all thanks to the showrunners and executive producers, Patrick Mckay and J.D. Payne.

Talking about deepening the darkness of one of the most iconic villains in Season 2, Patrick Mckay revealed, ` Each of these societies and heroes that we set up in Season 1 reveals serious cracks in the foundations that Sauron can exploit. What the audience will start to realize as the season goes on is this is not a story about several different worlds but a story about one world - and Sauron is the spine that connects all of it. We're going to watch as he uses deception, manipulation, lies, coercion, and cunning to set the chess pieces in motion. This season is about reaching a deeper understanding of his modus operandi - and seeing it in action.` Mckay also shed some light on the central theme of this season, sharing, `There is good and evil in Tolkien. But what side you are fighting for is something that everyone has to struggle with. Evil is not something in some far-off place. One of the central themes is the evil that dwells inside us all.`

In The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2, Sauron returns without allies or an army after being defeated by Galadriel. The rising Dark Lord will now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, allowing him to bind the people of Middle-earth to his sinister will. The series boasts an outstanding cast, starring Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Cordova, and Charlie Vickers in the lead roles. This adventurous action-drama premiered worldwide on August 29 in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, among others, with the finale episode releasing on October 03, exclusively on Prime Video.
