Watch the first teaser trailer for The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power

After announcing the series' official name (in a very cool and unique way) last month, Prime Video have now finally shared the first proper teaser trailer for The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power.

The 60-second snippet was – like the new Doctor Stranger trailer – unveiled at last night's Super Bowl, and has now hit the internet for Middle-earth fans to enjoy until the full thing arrives on September 2.

A description reads: "Prime Video’s The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings books, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and one of the greatest villains that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.

"Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone."
