A huge Lord of the Rings battle is adapted over 3 episodes in The Rings of Power season 2, and the showrunners say it took a year of planning

Elrond in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2.

The Rings of Power season 2 will adapt a huge battle from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings as the Siege of Eregion takes center stage. Spanning three episodes and a huge scale, showrunners Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne say their version took a year of planning to bring to the screen. 

"The Siege of Eregion is the big climax at the end of season 2," co-showrunner Patrick McKay teases to GamesRadar+. "It starts in episode 6, goes through 7 and goes deep into 8, and each sequence is a different phase of this battle. Siege battles take place historically, not over a night or a day, but over months, and we wanted you to feel the weight of that, we wanted you to feel the layers of each of that."
