Morfydd Clark will step into the shoes of Galadriel in Amazon Studios' upcoming fantasy series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The series is a spin-off of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy and The Hobbit, all of which are based on J.R.R. Tolkien's books. The Rings of Power is a prequel to the film franchises, taking place a thousand years before The Hobbit's events.
The first two episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will premiere on Amazon Prime Video, on Thursday, September 1, 2022, at 6 P.M. PT/9 P.M. ET.
Galadriel is described in the text as the daughter of a prince of Nolodor and is regarded as one of Middle Earth's greatest Elves. She is also known as the Lady of the Lothlorien Woods as she and her husband Celeborn rule Lothlorien together. During this time, the couple meet Annatar, Lord of Gifts, and work together to design the power rings. Nenya, one of the three Elven power rings, was carried by Galadriel.
