O Senhor dos Anéis: Os Anéis de Poder[1] (apelidada de LOTRonPrime nas midias sociais oficiais[2]) é uma adaptação dos escritos de J.R.R. Tolkien produzida pela Amazon's film and TV division, junto com HarperCollins, New Line Cinema, Middle-earth Enterprises, o Tolkien Estate e o Tolkien Trust. A primeira temporada foi ao ar em 2 de setembro de 2022.[3][4]
A série cobrirá um período de tempo da história da Terra-média referente à Segunda Era, bem antes da popular trilogia de O Senhor dos Anéis (Livro) e antes, mas aparentemente em continuidade com, O Senhor dos Anéis (filme) e O Hobbit (filmes). A série será um drama liderado por Morfydd Clark como a jovem Galadriel com Robert Aramayo como Elrond, apresentando a forja dos Grandes anéis, a queda de Númenor, e a Última Aliança entre Elfos e Homens.
A primeira temporada da série conclui suas filmagens na Nova Zelândia em julho de 2021. A série é planejada para ter cinco temporadas. Foi afirmada que todas as temporadas já foram pensadas e que já sabem como será a cena final da série.

Enredo
A série está projetada para progredir pelo menos por cinco temporadas[5][6] e cerca de 50 horas de TV[7], e - possivelmente com um spinoff - por um período de oito a dez anos;[8][9] e, a partir de novembro de 2019, as duas primeiras temporadas receberam sinal verde.[10] Em janeiro de 2020, a Amazon anunciou que a primeira temporada consistiria em oito episódios.[11] O Tolkien Estate terá poder de veto "na estratégia e na visão" e manterá a "forma principal da Segunda Era".[12]
Premissa
Primeira imagem, lançada pela Amazon em 2 de agosto de 2021
A trama cobrirá eventos da Segunda Era. Um mapa interativo, apresentado no site Amazon Prime Video,[13] apontou para a série sendo ambientada em meados da Segunda Era, por volta de 1500 SE - 1701 SE. No entanto, vazamentos de personagens recentes mostram que o elenco contará com personagens de um período muito posterior na Segunda Era, como Elendil e Isildur. Os dois períodos serão condensados em uma única linha do tempo, para evitar saltos no tempo.[7]
A primeira das duas épocas é centrada em torno do forjamento dos Anéis do Poder em Eregion, através do qual Sauron (disfarçado de Annatar) convence Celebrimbor e a guilda Mirdain para forjar Anéis de Poder, contra os conselhos de Galadriel e Gil-galad: em algumas versões da história, Annatar até convence o conflitante Celebrimbor a liderar um golpe que derruba Galadriel.[14] A sinopse da história vazada[15]também aponta nessa direção, bem como para eventos simultâneos em outros reinos da Terra-média, nomeadamente Moria, e Lindon: governados por Durin III e Gil-galad, respectivamente, eles estão tentando manter suas relações externas com Eregion, uma vez que cai sob a influência de Annatar, e então afastando suas forças durante a Guerra de Sauron e os Elfos.[14] Muitas dessas tramas terão que se desenrolar isoladamente antes que a guerra faça com que elas se cruzem e, como tal, dizem ter unidades separadas que as produzem.[16]
Durante este tempo, as Portas de Durin (construídas por Celebrimbor e seu amigo anão Narvi) são fechadas, antes que o reforço Galadhrim passe por Moria para se juntar às forças de Lindon lideradas por Elrond (que então constrói Imladris e começa um relacionamento romântico com a filha de Galadriel, Celebrían) para afastar as forças de Sauron.
No entanto, a inclusão de Isildur e Elendil no show aponta para um cenário tardio da Segunda Era, daptando o Akallabêth, provavelmente até os eventos da Guerra da Última Aliança e possivelmente o Desastre nos Campos de Lis. At this time, Númenor is ruled by the aging Tar Palantir and his daughter, queen regent Tar Miriel, before being ousted by his nephew Pharazon, much to the chagrin of their relatives of the line of the Lords of Andunie: Elendil and Isildur; Pharazon forces an incestuous political marriage upon Miriel and persecutes denizens labeled as "Elf friends." Meanwhile, Sauron and his minions challenge Pharazon, resulting in Sauron's capture which in the long-run only enables the Dark Lord to deceive Pharazon into mounting an attack on Valinor which results in the deluge of the islands. Elendil and his "faithful" flee and survive to establish the realms of Gondor and Arnor, and join forces with the Elves to topple Sauron. Isildur claims the Ring before his fall at the hands of Orcs at the Gladden Fields.

Cast & rumors
In order of announcement
- Markella Kavenagh, as Elanor "Nori" Brandepé, a hobbit Pé-peluda.[17] Kavenagh was the first actress cast with a description indicating "a wide-eyed 15-17 year old with a strength and maturity beyond her years." Her role is further described as "a leading [one] with dramatic and comedic elements."[18] Alongside Megan Richards' "May", they will "encounter a mysterious lost man whose origin promises to be one of the show’s most enticing enigmas."[7]
- Maxim Baldry, as Isildur.[7] Isildur's is said to be a "significant" role[19] under the codename of "Cole", who is described as "a young athletic male in his very early 20's, to play around 18. He has the weight of the world on his shoulders, so must feel an old soul. Troubled, but mercurial and charismatic."[18]
- Joseph Mawle, rumored as "Adar", codenamed "Oren", the main antagonist[20]; believed to be a corrupted Elf (even a fallen brother of Galadriel's[21]) under Sauron's sway, or an alias for Sauron himself.[22] Said to be "A villain who can also evoke a deep sense of pathos and wounded / fallen nobility. Must possess a certain degree of physicality. Should seem middle-aged, though must also project a sense of timelessness."[18]
- Ema Horvath[23], rumored as Carine, an original character and daughter of Elendil.[22] Codenamed "Shay", she is described as "pragmatic, clever young woman. She is studious and ambitious. She can be serious but has a quick wit" but also "deeply politically minded, which presents a particular challenge when the political leanings within her own family become increasingly divided…"[18] This political divide had since been clarified as a romantic attachment to Kemen, Pharazon's son.[24][24]
- Morfydd Clark, as young Galadriel.[25] Clark was cast in December, reportedly in the Galadriel role, shortly after negotiations for the role of "Eldien" (the projected series lead) were said to have been held.[26] This, and the resemblance that other candidates for the role shared with Clark, led to speculation that Galadriel is Eldien[14], described as "a complex, unique and formidable young woman in her mid-20s who possesses an eternal quality and a strong physical component."[26] By October 2020, Clark intimated that she remained in New Zealand throughout the shooting and hiatus undergoing substantial exercise (including horse-riding, sword-fighting and arrow-firing) and confirmed the role of a "more rebellious"[27] Galadriel.[28][29] Galadriel had since been described as "commander of the Northern Armies" of, presumably, Lindon; and as "younger, as angry and brash as she is clever, and certain that evil is looming closer than anyone realizes." In the pilot episode, while "hunting down the last remnants"- possibly in the southern village of Tirharad - of Sauron's "collaborators, who claimed the life of her brother."[7]
- Robert Aramayo, as Elrond. The role was codenamed as "Beldor"[30]; said to be "an optimistic, intelligent, and political savvy protagonist who is nonetheless more reserved than his on-screen counterparts."[26] Also required to be "the straight-man in pairings with more out-sized personalities", "action-oriented at times" and "early 20s, though should also possess a gravitas that belies a character who could be far older",[18] Beldor was believed to be Elrond for some time based on Aramayo's resemblance to Hugo Weaving.[31][32] He is described as a "canny young elven architect and politician." He goes to mend "the relationship between his people and the dwarves of Khazad-dûm."[33] Said to be "just beginning to build his reputation", Elrond "will rise to prominence in the mystical capital of Lindon” and is seen reunited there with Galadriel.[7]
- Owain Arthur, as prince Durin IV. A character description indicates he "will range in dramatic pairings as a best friend, a son, a husband and a father."
- Nazanin Boniadi, as Bronwyn,[7] a village healer from the "southlands of Middle-earth" and mother of Theo, and is said to be "torn between her son and her own people", which the audition tape suggest are Middle-earth natives, "and the man with whom she is secretly in love an outsider to the village"[18], which is confirmed to be the character Arondir.
- Ismael Cruz Córdova, as Arondir, a Silvan Elf.[7] The role was described as "equal parts soldier and lover; a ruggedly-handsome, brooding, Byronic hero."[18] In an interview, Cordova compared the significance of his role in the show to that of a major role like John Boyega's in the recent Star Wars films.[34] Arondir was previously codenamed "Calenon" and "Everard."
- Tyroe Muhafidin as Theo, the young son of Bronwyn. An apparent character description indicates him to be "a sweet, honorable kid who feels responsible for his mother. Curious about the world and frustrated by his small-town life." The description goes on to say he can be suspicious of other peoples' intentions with his mother.[18]
- Sophia Nomvete, as princess Disa, a Dwarf and mate of Durin IV. The role is said to be a "warm and maternal female actor" aged "35-45" for a "comedic/dramatic role" with "singing ability". [18]
- Megan Richards,[35] as Papoula Pédigno, a Pé-peluda.[36]
- Dylan Smith, [35] often believed to be playing a Dwarf based a picture he shared in prosthetics, Dylan had in fact appeared in said prosthetics as a Neanderthal for the Hulu movie Dawn.[37]
- Charlie Vickers,[35] as Halbrand,[7] a "dramatic leading role with comedic elements." A fugitive, Halbrand goes with Galadriel to Numenore, becoming shipwrecked en route. He had since been confirmed as the character appearing in scale-armour and holding a sword with horse-head hilt, which could suggest he would become an ancestor of the Rohirrim.[38]
- Daniel Weyman,[35] as "The Stranger."[22] Previously known under the codename "Daric", who "vacillates between stubborn gravitas and a sense of sweetness and innocence."[18] "The Stranger" crashes from the sky in a Meteor crash[39] and discovered by Nori and "May" and is said to a "being" of "the same class" as the wizards Gandalf and Saruman.
- Simon Merrells,[40] as "Trevyn."[41]
- Cynthia Addai-Robinson,[40] rumored as Tar Miriel.[22] Coded as "Asta", it is a role for a "diverse woman" playing a "high-ranking lady" who is "mighty but reserved, also shows grace & humor."[18]
- Ian Blackburn (role unknown)[40]
- Kip Chapman[40]: though his role is unknown, he can be seen in the teaser as an Elf that takes part in Galadriel's expedition to the Forodwaith.
- Anthony Crum (role unknown)[40]
- Maxine Cunliffe (role unknown)[40]
- Trystan Gravelle[40] rumored as Pharazon or "Weylin".[22]
- Sir Lenworth "Lenny" Henry as Sadoc Burrows, said to be an elder of the Harfoots.[7] He shares a resemblance (and is of a similar age to) Brian A. Wilson, who auditioned for "Hamsom", said to be "warm, charming, weathered" and "kind" with "sad eyes. He’s quietly suffering from an ailment he has to hide from his physically demanding traveling community. He puts on a brave face in public and keeps his physical suffering to himself. He does this with charm and a twinkle, concealing his sadness that his family has to cover for him. He loves his family and his strong, practical wife."[18] The wife in question is evidentially the role of "Cora."
- Thusitha Jayasundera (role unknown)[40]
- Fabian McCallum (role unknown)[40]
- Geoff Morrell[40] (role unknown). The eldest of the cast, some have speculated Morrell could be playing the aging Tar Palantir, codenamed Sarador. [42]
- Peter Mullan[40], previously considered for the role of Balin in The Hobbit,[43][44] Mullan is believed to be playing a Dwarf, possibly King Durin III, father of Durin IV, codenamed "Khain."[22]
- Lloyd Owen[40], rumored as Elendil.[22] Going under the codename of "Loda"[45], he is said to be "earthy, deep, solid. Doesn't give his feelings away easily. Physically strong & fit" and "in his late 40s/50s."[18]
- Augustus Prew[40], although his role is unknown, he could be the part of "Neldor", described as "a similar archetype to Beldor"[26] but a bit older.[18]
- Peter Tait (role unknown)[40]
- Alex Tarrant (role unknown)[40]
- Leon Wadham (role unknown)[40]
- Benjamin Walker as Gil-galad,[46] perhaps the character codenamed "Galanion", a "character portrayed is in their late 40s early 50s. A man of elegance and great gravitas. A leader of his people, wise and pragmatic to a fault. He isn't afraid to manipulate for the greater good." Prior to the announcement of Walker's involvement, it was speculated Kaya Scodelario, Walker's spouse, was involved in the show due her flight schedule and social network activity.[47] This was debunked and explained away through Walker's involvement.
- Sara Zwangobani[40] suspected to be playing "Cora" opposite Sir Lenny Henry's potential "Hamsom", based on her age and heritage. Described as "Practical, solid, earthy. A matriarch under too much pressure she sweeps any problems under the rug." It is said the pressure of Hamsom's failing health "and their large family can make her seem dismissive and detached. In reality shes deeply loving. She leans too much on her oldest daughter and worries that shes dangerously curious about the world. She desperately wants a quiet life."[18]
- Charles Edwards as Celebrimbor.[7]
- Will Fletcher, suspected to be Finrod.[48][49]
- Lady Amelie Child-Villiers,[49] rumored as a young Galadriel.[22]
- Beau Cassidy (role unknown)[49]
