We see different characters getting the spotlight throughout the one-minute trailer, with Elrond (Robert Aramayo), Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) and Isildur (Maxim Baldry) the names most would recognise. With inspiration from Tolkien’s timeline in The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will also feature new characters and additions.

Other stars involved in the show include Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Owain Arthur, Nazanin Boniadi, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Charles Edwards, Trystan Gravelle, Sir Lenny Henry, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Lloyd Owen, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers, Leon Wadham, Benjamin Walker, Daniel Weyman, and Sara Zwangobani.

With some serious money behind the show, it won’t be long before we something more substantial for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power other than a short trailer, with it slated for a September 2 release.

Here is the official synopsis for the show:
