What is the Storyline of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2?
In The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2, big things are expected to happen. Nori and ‘The Stranger’ are off to Rhûn searching for answers about his true identity. They’ll likely encounter new characters and face conflicts, especially with Sauron looming ahead.
Sauron has made his way to Mordor, and Galadriel is furious after discovering Halbrand’s true identity. She’ll continue her hunt for Sauron’s blood, likely in a brutal manner.
The finale saw Galadriel, Elrond, and Celebrimbor forging rings from Mithril to save the elven community. The show’s tone is expected to shift to be “a little scarier” now that Sauron’s true identity has been revealed.
Season two will dig deeper into Sauron’s reign and its global impact. The reveal had a massive effect on the cast, especially Morfydd Clark.
Lessons learned from season one will carry into season two, with expectations high for the upcoming episodes.
