"Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without an army or an ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, with which he can bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will," reads the official synopsis. "Building on the epic scope and ambition of Season 1, Season Two of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world increasingly on the brink of disaster. Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots… as friendships are tested and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of goodwill struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters most to them… each other."
