New Rings Of Power trailer pits Sauron against Middle-earth, as is tradition

As for those who might thwart the smoldering Dark Lord with his L’Oréal locks, Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) is distracted by the return of her long-lost husband, Celeborn (Jamie Campbell Bower) (“There is something you fear to tell me,” Celeborn says, as the image of Sauron lying in Galadriel’s bed plays); Gandalf (Daniel Weyman) has his hands full with the Dark Wizard (Ciarán Hinds); and Elrond (Robert Aramayo) stewing within the protection of Rivendell. Will no one stand against The Deceiver? Look, he’s forging a new special ring! That can’t be good!

The logline for this fiery new season reads as follows: 

In the thrilling new trailer, all the peoples of Middle-earth are engaged in the heroic struggle against Sauron and his army of Orcs. His terrifying Ring-servants, the Nazgnagôl, roam Middle-earth clad in black armor as tensions rise among the Elves trying desperately to hold the front lines; familial ties are strained among the Dwarves in Khazad-dûm; political factions push the island kingdom of Númenor to the brink of civil war; and in the eastern lands of Rhûn, Gandalf enlists his full powers of magic and persuasion as he fights to turn the tide of impending darkness.

Prime Video’s The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power season three premieres its first four episodes on November 11, episodes five and six on November 18, and its two-episode finale on November 25. You can watch the trailer below.
