The Rings of Power season 2's forthcoming tentpole battle sequence is the "most ambitious undertaking we've ever attempted." That's according to co-showrunner Patrick McKay, who left me in no uncertain terms about the size, scale, and scope of this season's action spectacle.
Speaking to TechRadar ahead of season 2's launch in late August, McKay opened up the amount of work that went into bringing the Siege of Eregion to life. An era-defining battle, the bloody and devastating conflict is arguably the most significant of The Lord of the Rings' iconic fights. Indeed, not only does it kick off the War of the Elves and Sauron that spans much of Middle-earth's Second Age, but it also shapes events in the Third Age, the biggest of which were covered in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings movie trilogies.
