“There can be no trust between a hammer and a stone.”
Hey nerds! How are you? OK?! Awesome! Glad to hear it!
And you’re about to be still Better for a second because BuzzFeed is still streaming you live from San Diego Comic-Con 2022 where Prime Video today The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power took over the iconic Hall H for an epic panel moderated by LOTR super fan, Stephen Colbert.

And of course, with the Hall H panel comes all sorts of amazing news, this time in the form of an absolutely amazing trailer. Check it out for yourself here:

The trailer dives deeper into the show’s history, revealing very little yet, but what we do know for sure is that it will take place during the Second Age of Middle-earth, thousands of years before the events of Lord of the Rings.
Over the course of the series we’ll look at things like the rise of Númenor and the forging of the rings.

Heck, they literally say “rings” twice in the title, so you know they have to show up somewhere!
We also know that this season will follow some familiar characters, such as Galadriel and Elrond, while introducing new characters drawn from the applications of J.J.’s original works. RR Tolkien.
Anyway, there’s no denying that the show looks visually amazing. The costumes are stunning, the sets are beautiful, and the cinematography is breathtaking.

Which is good because, fun fact, Prime Video broke records with this one, as Season 1 is the most expensive TV show ever made at a whopping $465 million.
Also, I want to take a second to talk about the music, because it really grabbed me, honestly. The music for the series was composed by Bear McCreary and is such a clear homage to Howard Shore’s original composition. I’m not ashamed to say that I was moved when I heard him play in Hall H.
So yes! Here it is! Be sure to check it out The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power when it hits Prime Video on September 2nd!
