Here I would be giving you details on The Rings of Power Season 2. Rings of Power is one of the fascinating series I came across this year and the loving part was Galadriel who seem like the main character, I loved how she acted as a strong and optimistic woman with all the choleric features of a strong and good leader. This triggered my love for the movie.
Revealing Gandalf and showing who Sauron was, leaving the watchers anxious about what might come out of season 2 or the events that might occur in season 2 is a cool way to end season 1. Now Charlie Vickers acting as Sauron happens to have his eyes on Middle Earth, which means we might not be able to imagine or determine the kind of event that might occur.
Season 2 of the Rings of Power Production Progress
Production for the season has begun with all the cast and crew returning to work as of October 2022, everyone is curiously awaiting season 2. With the duration that it took for the production of season 1 which took approximately 18 months, we might expect the movie towards the end of the year 2023 or probably 2024.
According to Amazon Studios, the show is gorgeous and takes extensive work and it does not demand a rush. And I agree with that, watching the movie tells you that the scenes in this movie took time to make the movie real.
The filming location changed from New Zealand and it has moved to Bray Film Studios and Bovingdon Airfield in the UK. And this means that filming activities would be taking place in the UK and part of Europe.
Season 2 would consist of eight episodes. The series in season 2 would be of events of the second age of middle earth and including the creation of the 20 Rings of Power.
What Cast Would be Returning?
We are gonna know about those casts that would be returning to season 2 or we should be expecting to see them in season 2. As from Season 2, Vickers would be acting as the Lord of the Rings’ iconic antagonist.
Some casts might not be returning, characters like Lenny Henry’s Sadoc Burrows and the Mystics. As we watched Sadoc was severally injured during the battle between The Stranger, the Harfoots, and the Mystics which occurred in episode 8.
Another cast that would not be returning to act and would be replaced is Joseph Mawle who played Adar and would be replaced by Sam Hazeldine as Peaky Blinders.

December 1, 2022, Amazon Studios’ head of global television, Vernon Sanders said that lots of new faces would be seen and added to the cast in season two.
And there might be an appearance of new or already existing casts that were not shown in season 1. We have characters like Cirdan the Shipwright. According to Tolkien’s source material, Cirdan is the Lord of the Falathrim in the first age and he owned one of the titular rings Narya before it was passed on to Gandalf.
Another Elf that would be surfacing is the elf wedded to Galadriel whom Galadriel believes is dead but Celeborn (whom Galadriel is wedded to) is still alive In the Third age and there would be a reunion between the two.
Season 2 Storyline
The season 2 storyline would be fascinating and there would be related to events that happened in season 1 here are some of those events that might unravel new events in season 2.
Nori and The Stranger
Just as I am curious about the identity of The Stranger. Anyways, the stranger we are referring to is the big giant found by Nori, and The Stranger happens to be one of the five wizards sent to middle earth by the Valar and the Valar is the middle earth god. The Stranger was sent to help with the fight against Sauron.
In season 1, it was obvious they were headed somewhere, they were heading to Rhûn in Middle earth’s far eastern regions to find out more details about himself (The Stranger’s identity).
The Southlanders
In episode 7, it was confirmed that the Southlands is the area that becomes Mordor after the explosion that happened in episode 6. In season 2, Bronwyn would be revealing other Southlanders and they would resettle in Pelargir.
Perlargir is the city that is on the banks of the river Anduin that becomes Gondor’s main port in the Third Age. Not only the Southlanders that might be at Pelarigr, but Pelargir also become a refuge for the Faithful Númenóreans who are friendly with the elves during the island Kingdom’s moral decline in the second age.
Sauron and Galadriel
Sauron and Galadriel looked pretty close in season 1 and one of the fascinating things that Galadriel did was not reveal the true identity of Sauron and the reason is still yet unknown. After Galadriel found out the true identity of Halbrand, She was so angry after confiding in him, trusting him, only to be manipulated and used by him.
Galadriel might face future problems not revealing the identity of Sauron and Elrond knows that Galadriel lied to him after he found out the truth from the Southlands royal lineage scroll which also helped Galadriel to who Halbrand was.
Galadriel’s hunt for Sauron’s blood intensifies in a very brutal manner. It was discovered that Galadriel, Elrond, and Celebrimbor created three rings from their only scrap of mithril when they were desperately in need to save the elf community.
Things might get scary now that Halbrand has revealed himself as Sauron said the executive producer Lindsey Weber.
