The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2 is introducing a new character with potentially significant ties to J.R.R. Tolkien’s lore. Other new characters have already been confirmed to be in season 2 of the Prime Video series, including Rory Kinnear as Tom Bombadil, a fan-favorite character in Tolkien’s writing.
New season 2 images and details revealed by IGN show the return of season 1 characters Isildur (Maxim Baldry) and Arondir (Ismael Cruz Cordova), joined by the new character, Estrid (Nia Towle), whom Isildur will trust immediately. These details tease the possibility that Estrid could become Isildur’s wife, who was never named in Tolkien’s lore. Check out the images below:

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history for the very first time. Set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, The Rings of Power will explore a time in the franchise where kingdoms rose and fell, where The One Ring itself was forged and tells the tale of the rise of the greatest foe in the Lord of the Rings Franchise, the Dark Lord Sauron. Beginning in a time of peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of familiar and new characters as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil in Middle-earth. From the depths of the Misty Mountains to the forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, The Rings of Power promises to condense the extended works of Tolkien in a condensed but all-encompassing TV show format. The first season of The Rings of Power began airing exclusively on Prime Video on September 2, 2022
