LOTR – Rings of Power

This article may contain affiliate links which help support DTNZ's work.

Set thousands of years before the events in J. R. R. Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings, this epic drama follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle Earth.

The Lord of the Rings, The Rings of Power is available to stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.

Galadriel, a legendary elven warrior and the Commander of the Northern Armies. Far from the wise, ethereal Lady of Lórien she will one day become, this much younger Galadriel is headstrong and relentless – and obsessed with hunting an elusive evil.

The Second Age began after the downfall of Morgoth, the original Dark Lord. The early part of the Second Age is a time of relative peace, allowing kingdoms of elves, dwarves, and men to grow and flourish as the wars of the First Age become a distant memory.
