More details about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power plot and cast
The story of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power takes place centuries before the events that unfolded in the Hobbit and LOTR movies. The official synopsis of the fantasy show, as per Amazon Prime Video, reads:
''Beginning in a time of relative peace, we follow an ensemble cast of characters as they confront the re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.''
The first two episodes are deliberately paced slowly to help establish the central plot while also focusing on the main characters. One of the significant plot points is Galadriel's journey to hunt down her brother's killer, Sauron. With several pivotal events yet to unfold, it'll be interesting to see how the series pans out in the upcoming episodes.
The show features a stunning ensemble cast featuring Morfydd Clark in the role of Galadriel, Robert Aramayo as Elrond, and Ismael Cruz Córdova as Arondir. Other cast members include:
- Markella Kavenagh as Nori Brandyfoot
- Nazanin Boniadi as Bronwyn
- Charles Edwards as Celebrimbor
- Daniel Weyman as the stranger
- Maxim Baldry as Isildur
The show is helmed by JD Payne and Patrick McKay.
