We see the words “Before the King”, indicating to audiences that this is a prequel set some considerable time before The Lord of the Rings, and then an image of waterfalls with snow behind them.
#THE LORD OF THE RINGS RING POWER SERIES#
This series might be taking us through a lot of epic landscapes and high drama among the peoples of Middle Earth, but we’ll still have a small, wide-eyed companion to take us there. Kavenagh is sporting some very hobbit-y brown curls, and her voiceover suggests a character who combines Movie-Frodo’s youth (Book-Frodo was 50) and Bilbo’s sense of adventure. They could perhaps be humans with a penchant for extravagant fake wings, though we’re hoping that they might be vampires – creatures with bat-like wings that play a role in Tolkien’s stories of the First Age and then disappear, but could conceivably still be around in the Second Age.įinally we see the young woman whose voice we’ve been hearing as she says “I can feel it!” This is Markella Kavenagh, one of two young actresses (along with Megan Richards) playing “loveable curious harfoots”, according to Vanity Fair. The characters we see – human-sized, bipedal, but with great big clawed wings – are described as “nomadic hunters” in Vanity Fair’s recent exclusive first look at the show. We see a sweeping shot across the hillsides that’s very reminiscent of The Fellowship of the Ring’s teaser trailer, to remind us where we are, but then we see a couple of new characters as the voice says, “There’s wonders in this world beyond our wandering.” “Haven’t you ever wondered,” the young woman’s voice asks us, “what else is out there?” This is a neat reminder that the series will expand into areas of Tolkien’s world that haven’t appeared on screen before.
