[Movie] Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Episodes 1 & 2 Preview: Release Date, Time & Where To Watch

Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Episodes 1 & 2

Set thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the series is based (very, very loosely) on J.R.R. Tolkien’s history of Middle-earth.

This series is set during the second age, during a period of relative peace. We’re tackling the forging of the Rings of Power here, along with the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron and the fall of Númenor. These events take place over thousands of years but do note, they have been condensed drastically for this series.

Expect plenty of original characters not in the books to pop up, along with Galadriel (our protagonist) off on a big ol’ adventure to slay some orcs and find Sauron before it’s too late.

If you’ve been following this one over the weeks, you may be curious to find out when the next episode is releasing. Well, wonder no more!
