2024 has been a great year for television, with everything from returning shows to innovative new adaptations gracing our screens. However, here at GamesRadar+, there was one series that stood above the rest: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2. After the first chapter introduced audiences to a new section of Middle-earth, the second season took everything up a notch with epic battles, heartbreaking deaths, and the creation of some pesky little rings…
To mark it being crowned our show of the year, GamesRadar+ spoke to showrunners Patrick McKay and J. D. Payne about their stand-out moments from the epic sophomore season. "We all feel like season two steps it up a little bit and the show is hitting its stride," McKay tells us. "The fact that a lot of viewers seem to feel that way too is really gratifying – it feels like the show is onward and upward."
