The showrunners of the series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” have revealed details of a large-scale battle that will be the climax of the second season.
The Siege of Eregion will be the central event, spanning three episodes. Showrunners Patrick McKay and JD Payne said that filming this battle took a full year to prepare.
McKay explains that the Siege of Eregion begins in the sixth episode and will continue through the eighth. Each episode will show different phases of the battle. The creators wanted to convey the historical accuracy of the siege, which usually lasts several months rather than just one night.
Despite the scale – over a thousand actors in orc masks were involved in the filming – the fight is not limited to spectacular scenes. McKay emphasizes the emotional component of the events. All plot lines and characters converge at this culmination point.
Elrond, played by Robert Aramayo, plays a key role in the battle. According to McKay, the character transforms from a politician to a warrior and general. The showrunner hints at the tragic consequences of this transformation, which are known from the original source.
The actors in the series also share their impressions of the scale of the events. Owain Arthur, who plays Prince Durin, describes the battle as “epic”. Sophie Nomveth, who plays the dwarf princess Disa, describes what she experienced as “scary”.
Maxim Boldry, who plays the role of Isildur, compares the second season to the first. He notes that the first season was more explanatory and focused on introducing characters and worlds, while the second season immediately plunges the viewer into the action. Baldry emphasizes the energy and intensity of the new season.
The premiere of the second season of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” will take place on August 29th. The first three episodes will be released simultaneously, giving viewers the opportunity to immerse themselves in the new adventures of Middle Earth.
As a reminder, actor Rory Kinnear explained why Tom Bombadil will finally appear in the series.
