New images from Amazon's TheRingsOfPower take viewers back to a classic location from LOTR: Khazad-dûm.
The first images from Amazon's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power take viewers back to a classic location from the original series. One of the most anticipated television shows of the year is also one of the longest-gestating - and is the most expensive show of all time. The Rings of Power has been in development at Amazon since 2017 and, for much of that time, kept under a cloud of secrecy.
Set thousands of years before J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the new show plunges viewers into Middle-earth's Second Age, starting in a time of relative peace. To give an indication of The Rings of Power's large scope, major events like the forging of the eponymous Rings of Power and the rise of Sauron take place within this period of time, and it seems likely the series will depict all of them.
In the Lord of the Rings movies, Khazad-dûm is perhaps best known as the place where Gandalf takes his"last" stand against the Balrog in The Fellowship of the Ring. At that point in Middle-earth history, Khazad-dûm is just a shell of what it used to be. The Rings of Power will show the kingdom at its height, likely filling in aspects of the subterranean community fans have never imagined.
Khazad-dûm is far from the only connection The Rings of Power holds to Lord of the Rings. As already mentioned, the series will touch upon events that were referenced in Tolkien's primary trilogy. It'll also feature younger versions of characters like Galadriel and Elrond . Though The Rings of Power should be able to stand on its own, fans might be smart to give the books a re-read, or sit down for a marathon of Peter Jackson's movies.
