When the first installment of The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power released, it took audiences back to the glorious world of Middle Earth, specifically conjuring the second age. The series proved to be more than just forging the rings but showcasing the early adventures of Galadriel (played by Morfydd Clark) in her quest to end the evil. Picking up from the events that went down in season one, Galadriel failed to realise that Halbrand was in fact the one villain who will be the dark lord of Middle Earth – Sauron. As the show gears up for the second season, the ethereal Elf takes on a more battle-ready form, especially after her monumental miscalculation last time around, she’ll be donning her armour and heading back into the fray in Season 2.

There’s a desperation to redeem herself, and through redeeming herself protect Middle-earth, which is in more danger than it ever has been. Now she’s seen the whites of the eyes of the person who’s bringing it all down, she’s all revved up,”. The other thing Galadriel possesses in Season 2 is Nenya, one of the three Elven rings of power; what exactly that means for her is something audiences will get to explore as the show continues. “Even Sauron doesn’t know exactly what they’ll do. But it’s an extra-weird connection between Galadriel and the baddest man in Middle-earth. The scope is just going to become bigger and bigger with every season,” Clark teases. “It’s constantly on this big trajectory to massiveness.”

ABOUT THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power 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 books, 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 reemergence 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 Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.
