I believe Rory Kinnear will do well. I wait for season 2

ROP Season 2 is shaping up to be even more incredible with the inclusion of Ciarán Hinds, Rory Kinnear, and Tanya Moodie. Each of them brings a unique flair to their roles, and I'm eagerly anticipating the dynamic they'll add to the series. Counting down the days until the new season!

A shame to see a fine actor slumming like that. I hope his career survives the disgrace.

As spotted by Oddwen, we have a Season 2 trailer!

Darkness Will Bind Them

I, uh... yeah okay, I don't recognise any of these characters any more. Galadriel once, Elrond and Celebrimbor once, Disa once... other than that I'm completely lost.

There's a bunch of narration from Galadriel about how Sauron is totes around, guys. I don't remember if she'd already told the gang that her buddy Halwhatsit was actually the Second Dark Lord? Because it kind of feels like that's what this narration is.

I dunno, I didn't really take much of it in. Might have to go back and do a point-by-point rundown of the thing.

TRAILER RUNDOWN

1. MORDOR. At least I assume it's Mordor. VOLCANOLAND, anyway. Ominous music. A cloaked silhouette walks towards Orodruin. The Prime logo appears and is eaten by blackness.

???: "An evil, ancient and powerful..."

2. FACE lit by evil-looking flames. Is this Sauron? Don't remember. Could be Movie!Kili.

???: "... HAS returned."

3. Durin the Younger in Moria, presumably the speaker, speeching.

4. Venom (you know, Spiderman's black suit) slithers about a bit.

GALADRIEL: "Prepare yourselves."

5. Group in the mist with weapons out. Galadriel, Elrond, and I think that's Tauriel??

6. Someone dissolves into petals? Or moths? Or ash?

???: "He worms his way inside your mind..."

7. A tree, with snakes or roots slithering out from it. There's a lantern in the background, so maybe this is Lindon?

???: "... and the rest of him slithers in."

8. Some guys with torches taking a night hike.

9. Celebrimbor in his house, which might be on fire? He looks confused.

10. Someone approaches a burning figure. Might be Galadriel, because:

GALADRIEL: "I think he has been here. I think he's been here among us all along." (Er, yes, there was a whole mind-invasion thing with your dead brother, remember?)

11. Some guy! In some place with arches! I dunno, the music thinks it's dramatic.

12. ON AUGUST 29th! With cliffs.

13. Two riders, one is probably Galadriel, in an autumnal place.

14. Underwater lady and a kraken?? Huh I guess Uinen and Osse are in this now.

???: "Every soul in Middle-earth is in peril."

15. Disa looks to camera. Durin the elder (probably) looks up a hole. A GIANT ROCK OUTTA NOWHERE smashes a bridge in Moria. Guys, you need to prop your mining works up properly!

16. Some guy gets mobbed.

17. Galadriel screams.

18. An orc licks a knife, nowhere near either of the previous shots.

DARKNESS WILL BIND THEM.

19. The Three with their rings, and a shot of an autumn tree.

20. Durin the Elder holds a glowing ring.

21. Silvan Elf (the one with the mortal girlfriend and no hair) does some acrobatics and points an arrow.

22. Numenor! Still looking very pretty. And then a giant eagle lands on the balcony and drops off some scruffy guy.

23. Some kid smiles. Some guy looks up.

24. Balls of fire are shot at a city.

25. Orcs, I think? Maybe that's Adar (hey I remembered a name) at the front; he's looking rough.

26. The Istar tries to pull a Moses and hits the ground with his staff next to a... well? Bell?

27. Someone in a sandstorm.

28. Someone shoots a burning arrow.

29. BOOM everyone's on fire.

30. ??Elrond?? pulls a sword.

31. Cavalry!

32. Some guy dumps a handful of gold rings.

33. People with swords surround some guy with long hair. He smiles.

GALADRIEL: "He is Sauron." (So I guess he's Sauron?)

34. A hand twists in a magicky way.

35. A huge explosion of like... clouds and darkness around a Dark Tower, over which we get our final title card.

---

Yeah so that told me nothing except that the main villain is still in it, and there's probably going to be some Rings, maybe even Of Power.

Indeed. 'Tis a very accurate summary.
I very much doubt I shall find this next season at all improved from the first, if the trailer is anything to go by.
