Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - New Teaser Shows Off Ents and More
A full new trailer will arrive on July 14.
Amazon's Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has seen a new sneak peek, showing off many of its characters, locations, and even a glimpse at the show's Ents.
At time of writing, the teaser is currently available only on the Prime Video service itself. It begins by showing off Middle-earth's landscapes, before we see Lenny Henry's Sadoc Burrows announce, "The skies are strange." What follows is a montage of the show's characters watching a comet on its way down through the atmosphere.
Perhaps most notably for fans, we see our first glimpse at Ents, Middle-earth's beloved race of tree people (you can see them in the first image of the slideshow below). As pointed out on Reddit, the shot in question actually previously appeared in the show's Super Bowl teaser, but the Ents have since been added to it.
This sneak peek is in fact a trailer for a trailer – we'll be getting a new teaser for the show on July 14. Whether it will build on this minute-long peek, or offer a totally different approach is unknown right now. That teaser will be followed by a first look at the show as part of its appearance at San Diego Comic-Con.
This sneak peek follows IGN's exclusive reveal of the show's Orcs, who will be shown as a race taken almost to the point of extinction and scattered across the lands.
We're slowly learning more about the Lord of the Rings prequel ahead of its September 2 release. In development since 2017, The Rings of Power will focus on the Second Age, and it's shaping up to be one of the most expensive shows ever made, with just one season reportedly costing $465 million.
