The second season of the American

Second Age of Middle-earth, the season depicts some of the major events of the Second Age. It is produced by Amazon MGM Studios in association with New Line Cinema and with J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay as showrunners
.

Amazon acquired the television rights to The Lord of the Rings in November 2017 and made a multi-season commitment for a new series. A second season was officially ordered in November 2019, and writing began during an extended first-season production break that started due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Amazon announced in August 2021 that filming for the series would move from New Zealand to the United Kingdom starting with the second season. Filming began in October 2022, with Charlotte Brändström, Sanaa Hamri, and Louise Hooper directing. Much of the series' large international cast returned from the first season, as did composer Bear McCreary who started work when production began. Location filming took place around Surrey and Berkshire as well as in the Canary Islands, and filming was completed in early June 2023 amid the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike.

The eight-episode season is scheduled to premiere in 2024 on the streaming service Amazon Prime Video.

Production

Development

showrunners a year later.[24] Prime Video officially ordered an eight-episode second season in November 2019,[22][25] and announced the series' full title, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, in January 2022.[26] The season's all-female directing team was revealed that December: Charlotte Brändström returned from the first season to direct four episodes, while Sanaa Hamri and Louise Hooper were set to direct two episodes each. Brändström was also made a co-executive producer for the season, which was executive produced by Payne, McKay, Lindsey Weber, Callum Greene, Justin Doble, Jason Cahill, and Gennifer Hutchison.[25]

Writing

The series' writers' room was disbanded once production on the first season began in February 2020, but a longer-than-usual four- or five-month production break was planned following the filming of the first two episodes to allow the writers to reconvene, review the early footage, map out the second season, and write the majority of its scripts.[22] This production break ultimately began earlier than expected due to the COVID-19 pandemic, taking place from mid-March to the end of September.[27][28][29] Writing for the second season was expected to be completed concurrently with post-production on the first season between August 2021 and June 2022.[30][31]

After avoiding a "villain-centric" story in the first season to focus on introducing the world and characters, the showrunners said the second season would go deeper into the "lore and the stories people have been waiting to hear",

Rhûn in the East of Middle-earth. This is one of the locations that the showrunners wanted to explore in the series as it had not been depicted onscreen before.[33] The season also introduces more locations and characters from Tolkien's writings, and features a "massive" two-episode battle.[35]

Location

Head of Amazon Studios Jennifer Salke said in June 2018 that the series could be produced in New Zealand, where the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit film trilogies were made, but Amazon was also willing to shoot in other countries as long as they could "provide those locations in a really authentic way, because we want it to look incredible".[36] Amazon confirmed in September 2019 that filming for the first season would take place in New Zealand.[37] Scotland was also considered as a location.[38][39] Production for the first season ended on August 2, 2021, at which point the New Zealand crew were unsure when filming for the second season would begin.[30] When ordering the second season in November 2019, Amazon considered filming it back-to-back with the first, as was done for each of the film trilogies,[22] but there was now expected to be a hiatus of at least one year to allow post-production on the first season and writing for the second to be completed. Amazon retained its lease on Auckland film studios for the duration of the hiatus so the series' sets could remain where they had been built.[30]

The week after filming wrapped for the first season, Amazon announced that it was moving production of the series to the United Kingdom starting with the second season. Amazon was in the process of booking studio space in the UK,[31] and Scotland was reported to be the frontrunner for new shooting locations.[40] The company planned to ship all of the sets that were built for the first season from New Zealand to the UK, and hire a new UK-based crew since the majority of the first season's crew was New Zealand-based.[31] Factors that played a role in the change included Amazon already heavily investing in UK studio space for several other productions; a belief that the UK would be a "more economical choice" following the high cost of producing the first season in New Zealand;[41] the opportunity to film in other European countries near the UK as was done for the fantasy series Game of Thrones;[31] Tolkien's estate wanting the series to be filmed in the UK since Tolkien was inspired by locations there for his books;[40] and the fact that New Zealand's restrictive pandemic-era border policies had prevented Amazon executives from visiting and monitoring the production, while many international cast members (more than half of whom are British) were unable to leave the country for nearly two years during filming of the first season.[31] Amazon had offered in August 2020 to pay for the use of hotels and rental properties as private quarantine facilities to give the production more flexibility with travel, but this idea was rejected by the New Zealand government due to the supposed need for "additional services" related to quarantining.[42] In the UK, 80 percent of expenditure is eligible for a 25 percent tax rebate through the government's "high-end television" tax relief program.[43][44]

The cast and crew expressed regret that they were not returning to New Zealand for the second season. Weber called it a "hard departure" and said they would not have been able to make the first season without the New Zealand crew, many having worked on the films as well.[45] However, McKay felt that because Tolkien was inspired by the UK for his writings they would be "bring[ing] the property home" with the second season which would be an "opportunity... pregnant with possibilities". He also suggested that future seasons would be visiting new lands within Tolkien's world that would justify having new filming locations.[46] Vernon Sanders, Amazon's Head of Global TV, confirmed that the second season would be "going to new lands, and there are new expansive things happening" that would take advantage of the new locations available in the UK and across Europe.[47]

Casting

While promoting the first season at

Círdan would be introduced in the second season.[49] The character briefly appeared in the Lord of the Rings films portrayed by Michael Elsworth.[50]

Cast members who returned from the first season include

On December 1, 2022, Sam Hazeldine was revealed to have replaced Joseph Mawle in the role of Adar for the second season. The decision had been made several months earlier and Mawle did not participate in promotion for the first season. Amazon also announced the casting of Gabriel Akuwudike, Yasen "Zates" Atour, Ben Daniels, Amelia Kenworthy, Nia Towle, and Nicholas Woodeson.[18] On December 7, Amazon further announced the casting of Oliver Alvin-Wilson, Stuart Bowman, Gavi Singh Chera, William Chubb, Kevin Eldon, Will Keen, Selina Lo, and Calam Lynch.[19] Sanders noted the diversity of the season's new cast members, stating "The series continues to be cast from all around the world. We think that represents the show that we created in season one, and we're doing the same thing for season two, we are trying to find the best actor for the role."[47] Amazon announced in March 2023 that Ciarán Hinds, Rory Kinnear, and Tanya Moodie would have recurring roles in the second season.[20]

Design

Production designer Ramsey Avery left the series after the first season to work on the film Captain America: Brave New World (2024),[51] and was replaced by Danish designer Kristian Milsted for the second season. Brändström felt Milsted had brought Scandinavian influences into the series' sets and locations,[52][53] but also noted that many of Avery's sets had been shipped to the UK and were just being expanded for the second season.[51]

Filming

Charlotte Brändström directed four episodes.

Pre-production was expected to begin in the second quarter of 2022, and the production was set to be primarily based at

better source needed] and was set to continue for around eight months.[60] Brändström, Hamri, and Hooper were directing their episodes simultaneously based on the availability of locations and sets.[61] Alex Disenhof returned from the first season to work with Brändström as cinematographer,[51] with Laurie Rose and Jean-Philippe Gossart also serving as cinematographers.[62]

By late October, filming was taking place on

Bracknell News reported on the concerns of local residents regarding damage done to the Swinley Forest area by the production. In response, the Crown Estate said they would work with the production to "fully restore the area of woodland... includ[ing] the creation of new habitats".[71]

After the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike started in May, the showrunners and other writer-producers were no longer able to be on set. The season reportedly had 19 filming days left as of May 4, when the production was revealed to be continuing under the supervision of the directors and non-writing executive producers. This approach had been planned ahead of the strike confirmation.[72] The production officially wrapped in early June.[51]

Music

Composer Bear McCreary received scripts for the season the day after he completed work on the first season's music. He began composing music for the second season by November 2022, including some that was needed during filming, and expressed excitement at being involved in the season from the beginning and being able to pace out his work better than on the first season.[73]: 47:20–52:37 

Release

The eight-episode season is scheduled to premiere in 2024 on the streaming service Prime Video.[2]
