It’s all been leading to this. After a slow and steady build, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 is finally launching into its climactic closing act. The war against Sauron (Charlie Vickers) has officially begun, and the armies of Middle-earth are slowly rallying against their common foe. But defeating the Dark Lord — or thwarting his plan to forge those rings — will be easier said than done.
Anyone familiar with J.R.R. Tolkien’s work knows things will get much worse before they get better. Though our heroes are working hard against unseen forces, Sauron always seems two steps ahead. We know good ultimately triumphs over evil, but for now, The Rings of Power is all about the Dark Lord’s rise. That creates an interesting tension the closer we get to the season finale. Is there any success against Sauron in store? We’ll have to tune in this week to find out. Here’s everything we know about The Rings of Power Season 2 Episode 7.
