Battle-worn fighters, angry seas, stranded ships and dazzling waterfalls. Oh, and an imprisoned man who says “I am not the hero you seek.”

Prime Video has dropped the latest trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, set to premiere premiere on Sept. 1 and 2 (depending on time zone). The series is set in the Second Age of Middle-earth — thousands of years before the events of the Lord of the Rings films and the novels. The series brings to screens for the very first time J.R.R. Tolkien’s fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.
