Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Unleashes Epic New Trailer for the Upcoming Second Season

San Diego was transformed into Middle-earth on Friday, as Prime Video showcased the highly anticipated second season of the epic series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay were joined on the iconic Hall H stage by over a dozen cast members for a lively and insightful conversation moderated by Emmy-nominated actress and renowned genre fan Yvette Nicole Brown (Avengers: Endgame, Community).

The ensemble cast thrilled the 6,500 fans who packed the massive convention center hall by unveiling a brand-new exclusive trailer for the upcoming season. The action-packed trailer focuses on the long-feared reemergence of the legendary villain Sauron, heralding the return of darkness and evil to Middle-earth after many years of hard-fought peace among all of its realms. The trailer also highlighted the creation of more of the titular Rings of Power, forged with the aid of Sauron’s powers of deception and manipulation.

Fans were also excited to see a glimpse of many of the fantastical, and sometimes frightening, creatures that will appear this season, including a young Shelob, an army of Barrow-wights, Hill-troll Damrod, a Sea Worm, and even Ents! The riveted crowd also enjoyed teases of several major battle scenes that will be pivotal to Season Two’s storylines.

The cast members who participated in the show’s Hall H panel were Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robert Aramayo, Maxim Baldry, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Charles Edwards, Trystan Gravelle, Sam Hazeldine, Ema Horvath, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Lloyd Owen, Megan Richards, Charlie Vickers, Benjamin Walker, and Daniel Weyman.

The second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on August 29, 2024.

In Season Two of The Rings of Power, Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without an army or 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, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will. Building on Season One’s epic scope and ambition, the new season plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity. As friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good—Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots—will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all: each other.

The second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is produced by showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay. They are joined by executive producers Lindsey Weber, Callum Greene, Justin Doble, Jason Cahill, and Gennifer Hutchison, along with co-executive producer and director Charlotte Brändström, producers Kate Hazell and Helen Shang, and co-producers Clare Buxton, Andrew Lee, Glenise Mullins, and Matthew Penry-Davey. Additional Season Two directors include Sanaa Hamri and Louise Hooper.

Meet the “House of the Dragon” Season 2 characters we’re rooting for right now!

Westeros is on the brink of a bloody civil war with the Green and Black Councils fighting for King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively. Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” and set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, the HBO Original drama series’ House of the Dragon Season 2 tells the story of House Targaryen.

Spoiler alert: In Season 1 of House of the Dragon, available in the Philippines through HBO GO powered by PLDT Home, Viserys I Targaryen passes on and his house is divided between the Greens – led by his son, King Aegon II Targaryen, and the Blacks – led by his daughter Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen. With allegiances being formed, the finale of House of the DragonSeason 1 also saw Rhaenyra’s second son Prince Lucerys Velaryon killed by Prince Aemond Targaryen and his dragon.

With five episodes already on HBO GO, the series has no shortage of surprises signature to the franchise and some of Season 2’s characters are proving to be more memorable than others, at least to us here. Here are our favorite characters:

Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen

Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith)

Daemon had an incredible character arc in Season 1. Starting as a rogue prince whom everyone thinks wants the throne of his brother Viserys I (Paddy Considine), we saw the charismatic warrior turn into a loving brother and husband. In S1 episode eight, he helps his ailing brother sit on the Iron Throne and gently puts the crown on his head. He also beheads Vaemond Velaryon when he insults Rhaenyra. In S2, Daemon does not want to wait around for Rhaenyra to end her grieving and wants to fight for their birthright.

Emma D’Arcy as Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen

Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy)

When will heartache end for Rhaenyra? Possibly never. In S2 episode 1 Rhaenyra grieves over Lucerys’ death. While she doesn’t want a war and wants revenge, she still shows restraint and wants to find a solution without fighting. We love Rhaenyra because even through her anger, she displays restraint.

Ewan Mitchell as Prince Aemond Targaryen

Prince Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell)

Aemond displayed his hatred for Rhaenyra’s children early on in the first season. He lost an eye as a child while fighting with his nephew Lucerys Velaryon. He told his mother that he may have lost an eye but he gained Vhagar, one of the most powerful dragons. We see a little more of this character in S2 episode two. With how Aemond’s history in season one, we can’t help but to feel for his character.

Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole

Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel)

As a member of the Kingsguard, Ser Criston is often seen breaking his oath and allegiance – first with Rhaenyra in season one and currently with Queen Alicent. By the end of episode two of the new season, he has replaced Aegon’s grandfather Otto Hightower as the King’s Hand. Much like Rhaenyra, we fell for his charm in the beginning and are eager to see what comes his way in this season.

Olivia Cooke as Queen Alicent Hightower

Queen Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke)

Alicent is a highly complicated character and would do anything to keep her son on the Iron Throne. While we may not see eye to eye with her, we do respect her character’s development, determination, and how she becomes one of the key players in House of the Dragon.

Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Velaryon

Princess Rhaenys Velaryon (Eve Best)

The Queen who never was, Rhaenys Targaryen was married to Corlys Velaryon,Master of Driftmark and the head of House Velaryon. You can never read Rhaenys or predict what she’s going to do, nor will you ever know whose side she’s on until she wants you to know. She flexed her power at the end of the first season when she attacked King’s Landing riding on her dragon, Meleys, and more recently in Season 2 when she stands up to Daemon, telling him to let Rhaenyra grieve. While her strength was truly inspiring, we see Rhaenys fall to her death in House of the Dragon S2.

Harry Collett and Tom Taylor

Cregan Stark (Tom Taylor)

Lord Cregan Stark is on the list simply because he is a Stark. We love Starks – no matter how long or short their appearance is. Cregan pledges his allegiance to the Blacks as he tells Jacaerys that “the Starks do not forget their oath, my prince…” We can’t wait to see more of Cregan!

With drama and alliances unfolding so quickly in each episode of House of the Dragon Season 2, do not miss an episode or you’ll get lost! You don’t have to, thanks to PLDT Home, you can catch the series every Monday on HBO GO for only P199/month.

For unli-entertainment guaranteed, apply for PLDT Home Plans 2099 and up to enjoy 3 months of HBO GO with no additional costs and avail free installation worth P3600. For more information, visit pldthome.com/fiber.
