The Rings of Power Season 2 kicked off with a packed three-episode premiere, marking a triumphant return for Prime Video’s prestige fantasy series. The Lord of the Rings prequel is diving into dark territory this season, with the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron (Charlie Vickers) driving much of the action this go-round. Distrust and angst are rife in each of The Rings of Power’s many plot points, and future episodes will likely double down on conflicts raging throughout Middle-earth. We don’t know how far Sauron will get with his master plan this season — though we can expect at least one major battle on the horizon — but all that matters now is the journey.
