It opens with a rather gruesome-looking battle between orcs and elves, before a young Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) reveals her brother died hunting the enemy – a task that now belongs to her.

Cue a montage of beautiful, scenic shots cut with a voice over that hints at what's to come for the sprawling cast.

The series is set during the 3,441-year period before the events of The Fellowship of the Ring, known as the Age of Númenor, or the Second Age, in J R R Tolkien's timeline.

Though Amazon has kept plot details tightly under wraps, the final trailer hints at a storm brewing, both in the literal sense – a pretty nasty shipwreck leads to a bond forming between Galadriel and new character Halbrand (Charlie Vickers) – and a figurative one.

The final trailer also gives us a hint of the conflict affecting other elves, men and dwarves, with Sophia Nomvete's Princess Disa telling Owain Arthur's unsure Prince Durin, "one day this will be your kingdom.".

Check out the epic trailer below:
