Amazon finally gives ‘LOTR’ fans a longer trailer for its ‘The Rings of Power’ series

Prime Video has released a second trailer for “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” which is actually longer than 60 seconds this time. The new two-and-a-half-minute trailer is more in-depth than the two other short teasers, including the exclusive sneak peek only given to Prime members last week.

“You have not seen what I have seen.” Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) attempts to stop an evil enemy in “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” while others have already hung up their swords. The series takes us back in time to the Second Age of Middle-earth, before the events of “The Lord of the Rings,” when Sauron ruled Mordor, and the citizens had no choice but to defeat him.

Premiering on Friday, September 2, “The Rings of Power” will explore lots of new and recognizable characters and locations -- with so many storylines that it’s hard to gauge how it will all come together.

The trailer gives viewers a first look at characters from Númenór, such as Isildur (Maxim Baldry), Elendil (Lloyd Owen), Pharazôn (Trystan Gravelle), Queen Regent Míriel (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), Númenóreans Kemen (Leon Wadham) and Eärien (Ema Horvath).
