Eight actors join cast season two of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has once again added multiple recurring cast members to its upcoming second season.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power keeps adding new actors to its upcoming second season. Earlier this month, we notified you about the series seeing seven new additions, this time there are another eight.

Oliver Alvin-Wilson (The Bay (2019)), Stuart Bowman (Bodyguard), Gavi Singh Chera (The Undeclared War), William Chubb (The Sandman), Kevin Eldon (Game of Thrones), Will Keen (The Crown), Selina Lo (One Child), and Calam Lynch (Bridgerton) have joined the cast of the series, which is currently in ongoing production in the United Kingdom.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Developed by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, The Lord of the Rings series is described as an “epic drama” set in the Second Age of Middle-earth — thousands of years before the events of the Lord of the Rings films and the novels by Tolkien. The series brings to screens for the very first time J.R.R. Tolkien’s fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. 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 re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.

The new eight cast members join previously announced recurring actors Sam Hazeldine, Gabriel Akuwudike, Yasen ‘Zates’ Atour, Ben Daniels, newcomer Amelia Kenworthy, Nia Towle, and Nicholas Woodeson.

Behalve Hazeldine, die de rol van orks-leider Adar op zich zal nemen, zijn er geen karakterbeschrijvingen gegeven voor de nieuwe castleden van het tweede seizoen.

As Rings of Power co-creator/executive producer Patrick McKay revealed earlier, elf Círdan, who carries one of the three rings forged by Celebrimbor until he surrenders it to Gandalf, will be introduced in Season 2, so one of the newly cast actors is expected to play him.

Season 2 also is expected to introduce other ring-bearers, including Dwarf-kings and Nazgûl, who may be played by some of the cast additions.

Season 2 of the series is produced by showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne & Patrick McKay. Lindsey Weber, Callum Greene, Justin Doble, Jason Cahill, and Gennifer Hutchison also executive produice, along with co-executive producer Charlotte Brandstrom, producers Kate Hazell and Helen Shang, and co-producers Andrew Lee, Matthew Penry-Davey, and Clare Buxton.
