An image from The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power reveals a new character. The upcoming series is Amazon Prime Video's first foray into J.R.R. Tolkien's world of Middle-earth. Led by Star Trek Beyond writers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay as showrunners, The Rings of Power is set thousands of years before the events of the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit during the Second Age of Middle-earth, a time characterized by the rise of the dark lord Sauron and the forging of the One Ring.
The Rings of Power has been one of the more secretive projects in recent memory, along with one of the more expensive. Amazon reportedly made a billion-dollar commitment to at least five seasons of the show. Earlier this year, Amazon revealed a look at 23 characters (save for their faces) who will appear in Rings of Power, including Sauron. Supplemental looks have confirmed that two more familiar characters from the movies are also a part of this large ensemble, the Elves Galadriel (played by Morfydd Clark) and Elrond (played by Robert Aramayo).
