What time is Rings of Power season 2 on Prime Video?
The highly anticipated new season is almost here.
The second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is almost upon us, with the first three episodes of the new run being released at once tomorrow (Thursday 29th August).
While also introducing a host of new characters, such as Tom Bombadil, who is being played by Rory Kinnear, the new season will of course reunite us with some favourites from season 1, including Morfydd Clark's Galadriel and Robert Aramayo's Sauron.
They will, this season, be taking on Sauron, who fully revealed himself at the end of season 1. While Galadriel cast him out, he is now overseeing the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his will.
When speaking with Radio Times magazine, Clark said of Galadriel's mindset at the start of season 2: "So, the worst has happened, and unfortunately she’s massively culpable in that. So her sense of self has completely shattered, and she’s been betrayed terribly. But also this huge evil, [Sauron], has risen. She can’t really stop and take any time for herself.
"So she kind of feels like a wounded animal, having to keep running. She’s really just put through the wringer. You can watch me suffer, again!"
We also know that this season will feature the Siege of Eregion, a battle which co-showrunner Patrick McKay said is in the running to be one of "the most ambitious battles in TV, period".
McKay said of devising the battle: "In some ways, you’re planning a real war with the logistics required. In a sense, the Siege of Eregion is not just one battle, it is six or seven.
"You have a horse charge, a hand-to-hand fight in the mud, then it’s a troll fight, and then there’s street fighting like in Stalingrad.
"Each of those phases requires an enormous amount of preparation and logistics and safety concerns to get the most thrilling things possible on TV."
The first three episodes of season 2 are being released together, but at what time can fans get stuck in and binge their way through them?
