A new trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power, out September 2 in the US

Amazon's new series is the first to feature the legendary heroes of Middle-earth's Second Age history. Set thousands of years before the events of Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings," the epic drama takes viewers back in time: Great powers are forged, kingdoms rise and fall to dust, unexpected heroes are tested, hope hangs in the balance, and Tolkien's most powerful villain threatens to bring darkness to all worlds.
