Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power debuted the first set of character posters, albeit with a twist.
There are 17 posters in told, but unlike most character posters sets, none of the faces can be seen -- only their hands.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set in the Second Age -- the time period in which Sauron rose to power and forged the all-powerful One Ring that served as the driving force behind both the J.R.R. Tolkien novels and the Peter Jackson film trilogy.
"This is a title that we imagine could live on the spine of a book next to J.R.R. Tolkien’s other classics," showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay said when the Lord of the Rings series' official title was announced. "The Rings of Power unites all the major stories of Middle-earth’s Second Age: the forging of the rings, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, the epic tale of Númenor, and the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Until now, audiences have only seen on-screen the story of the One Ring – but before there was one, there were many… and we’re excited to share the epic story of them all."
Amazon committed to multiple seasons of The Rings of Power in 2017. "The Lord of the Rings is a cultural phenomenon that has captured the imagination of generations of fans through literature and the big screen," former Amazon Studios Head of Scripted Programming Sharon Tal Yguado said at the time. "We are honored to be working with the Tolkien Estate and Trust, HarperCollins and New Line on this exciting collaboration for television and are thrilled to be taking The Lord of the Rings fans on a new epic journey in Middle Earth."
"We are delighted that Amazon, with its long-standing commitment to literature, is the home of the first-ever multiseason television series for The Lord of the Rings," Tolkien Estate and Trust and HarperCollins representative Matt Galsor added. "Sharon and the team at Amazon Studios have exceptional ideas to bring to the screen previously unexplored stories based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s original writings."
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power premieres Friday, Sept. 2 on Prime Video.
