Amazon's The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power - Official Teaser Trailer

The first official teaser trailer has been released for the highly anticipated Amazon original series "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power."

Amazon Studios' forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-Earth's history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien's pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.

Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-Earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Numenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" stars Robert Aramayo, Morfydd Clark, Owain Arthur, Nazanin Boniadi, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Markella Kavenagh, Sophia Nomvete, Megan Richards, Charlie Vickers, Maxim Baldry, Lenny Henry, Simon Merrells, Charles Edwards

"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" is due to premiere on September 2nd worldwide on Amazon Prime Video.
