The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power | First Look
Lord of the Rings was kind of part of my childhood and part of growing up for me. I will always remember reading the books and just totally diving into the whole story.

The highly awaited new series will premiere exclusively on Prime Video. Thanks to Amazon Studios we‘ve already got a first image that was released after they wrapped filming in New Zealand.
