A second teaser for the season 2 finale of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has found its way online, and it spotlights some action-packed new footage…

Prime Video has already released a brief promo for this Thursday’s season 2 finale of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, but an extended version has now been shared online which features quite a bit of new footage.

It’s not the best quality, but the video shows more of the rematch between Galadriel and Sauron that was teased in the first trailer. The Dark Lord is still in his Annatar form – but as we’ve already seen, this makes him no less powerful.

We also get another shot of the Balrog who will be unleashed from his cavern deep beneath Moria when King Durin refuses to listen to his son and digs too deep, a glimpse of the Dark Wizard showing his true colors by taking Nori and Poppy prisoner, and confirmation that Arondir survived his encounter with Adar in last week’s episode.

Check out the promo at the link below, and be sure to drop back for our recap of the season 2 finale on Thursday.

“Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will.”

“Building on Season 1’s epic scope and ambition, Season 2 of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity.”

“Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots… as friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all.. each other.”

Returning cast members include Morfydd Clark, Benjamin Walker, Charles Edwards, Charlie Vickers, Markella Kavenagh, Nazanin Boniadi, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Tyroe Muhafidin, Maxim Baldry, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Owain Arthur, Trystan Gravelle, Ema Horvath, Sophia Nomvete, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Leon Wadham, Daniel Weyman, and Sara Zwangobani.

Sam Hazeldine (Peaky Blinders) replaces Joseph Mawle as Adar, with Ciarán Hinds (Game of Thrones), Rory Kinnear (Penny Dreadful), and Tanya Moodie (The Man Who Fell to Earth) joining the ensemble in key roles.
