Amazon has finally released a teaser video for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, a new Prime Video series starring Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Nazanin Boniadi, and others. The program, created by showrunners J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay, is based on writings by J. R. R. Tolkien and takes place thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
In the new video, viewers are hit with the question, “haven’t you ever wondered what else is out there?” before being subjected to pretty scenery in waterfalls and beyond. Very little is revealed about the series in the teaser, but the self-proclaimed “wonders in this world beyond our wondering” are set to arrive on the streaming service on Sept. 2.
According to Deadline, the story follows the “re-emergence” of evil in Middle-earth, and executive producers include Lindsey Weber, Callum Greene, J.A. Bayona, Belén Atienza, Justin Doble, Jason Cahill, Gennifer Hutchison, Bruce Richmond, and Sharon Tal Yguado, while production is overseen by Ron Ames and Christopher Newman.
