A new trailer for The Lorღd of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 𝓀has arrived at SDCC, and it sees a darkness spreading across Middle-earth – all thanks to Sauron. 

In the clip, which you can watch below, Galadriel warns that "Sauron sees himsel𝓰f as master of all of Middle-earth."

We see those infamous rings, which Elrond is certainly 𝓀very suspicious of, while Galadriel is wearing one, believing it to💮 be helping her. 

There's also a look at Celebrimbor at his forge, facing Annatar, AKA Sauron, as the villain emerges from the flames. "What 𓄧am I to call you?" a stunned Celebrimbor asks. "A sharer of gifts," Annatar responds, ominously. "Our work begins now."

Beyond that, there's a look at the Stranger and Tom Bombadil. "Every soul in Middle-earth is in peril. Will you abandon them to thei🌌r doom?" Tom asks the Stranger. 

There's plenty of rousing action, too, with one battle that bears a resemblance to Helm's De꧅ep.&nbs💜p;

The overall theme of the new footage is goodn🥀ess rising up to fight darknesꦜs – we challenge you not to have chills...

In an interview with our sister publication Total Film magazine, showrunner Patrick McKay revealed the new seaso♉♊n's opening scene. "We open in the darkness, an orc walks in, and we see there are thousands of orcs gathered," he revealed. "He's about to be crowned, pitching his vision of Middle-earth, and right before they lay the crown on his head, his right-hand man, Adar, turns it upside down, and stabs him in ♔the back. It's the assassination of Sauron."
