Amazon Prime’s new Lord of the Rings TV show has debuted its first teaser trailer during the Super Bowl. Here’s everyth
We’ve still got a ways to go before Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power premieres on Amazon Prime, but the first looks at the new show have been rolling in at a steady clip. Earlier, Vanity Fair posted a series of behind-the-scenes shots, promotional stills, and full character posters with an interview from the directors. Prior to that, we had over twenty mysterious character posters drop teasing who could be expected in the cast. Now, on Super Bowl Sunday, our very first teaser trailer has arrived.
The teaser is only a minute long but it manages to pack in a ton of information and glimpses at some never before seen moments in LoTR canon. Most noticeably, we get our very first look at the realm of Numenor, and at a much younger Galadriel and Elrond who movie fans will recognize from Peter Jackson’s trilogy. In addition to familiar faces, several new characters made exclusively for the show are also featured.
That said, there’s still a lot of mystery surrounding Rings of Power. We know the show will center on the Second Age in Middle-earth, and that it will (obviously) deal with Sauron and the Rings (of Power) but exactly how faithful it will be to the source material remains to be seen. Given how huge portions of the Second Age are speculative at best, there is plenty of wiggle room for the show’s writers to work in.
So, bearing all of this in mind, we combed through the trailer for every possible detail we could glean to help you kickstart your theorizing engines.
Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power debuts on Prime on September 2.
