The Rings of Power Teases Epic Finale With New Poster

With only two episodes left in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 1, Prime Video is hyping fans up for the finale. The streaming services tweeted a new poster. “It’s all led to this,” the account tweeted. “Watch the epic finale for #TheRingsOfPower Friday, Oct 14 at 12am ET on @PrimeVideo.” The poster features most of the members of the show’s ensemble cast, including Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), Arondir (Ismael Cruz Cordova), Elrond (Robert Aramayo), Elendil (Lloyd Owen), Disa (Sophia Nomvete), Durin (Owain Arthur), Nori (Markella Kavanagh), Miriel (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), and Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards). Halbrand (Charlie Vickers) and the Stranger (Daniel Weyman) are notably absent, which is certainly interesting as they’re both suspected of possibly being Sauron in disguise.

Though the tweet focuses on the finale, which is still two weeks away, the seventh episode of The Rings of Power will debut on Friday. You can see the poster below.

The Rings of Power is ahead of its epic fantasy rival House of the Dragon in Nielsen’s ratings. The most recent episode of The Rings of Power left fans in shock after revealing the origin of an iconic Middle-earth location. Co-showrunner Patrick McKay reflected on the series’ direction ahead of the first season finale.

“A huge theme in Tolkien is the environmentalism and the way machines and industrializations destroys the land,” McKay told The Hollywood Reporter. “We wanted that to be central and core all the time. It’s a thing that comes up again and again throughout the show. So in the writers room, we asked: What if Mordor was beautiful? All bucolic like Switzerland. And then what could happen that could transform it? We talked about the poisoning of the land — which starts in the first episode with the cow. Then you find out about the tunnels being dug and sulfur is going up into the air. It all builds toward this geologically realistic way of igniting the mountain, which now blacks out the sky for a very practical reason — Adar, our villain, sees the Orcs as his people and they deserve a home where the sun doesn’t torment them. We’re hoping it will take people by surprise.”

The first six episodes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power are streaming now on Prime Video. Episode seven debuts on Friday. The finale premieres on October 14th. Prime Video renewed the show for its second season well before it premiered.
