EXCLUSIVE: The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power Stars Markella Kavenagh And Megan Richards Reveal How Nori And Poppy Will 'Intersect' In S2

As a devoted fan who has traversed the winding paths of Middle-earth since the days of Frodo and Sam, I can confidently say that the anticipation for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 is as palpable as the scent of Elven lembas bread. With the tantalizing teaser that Nori and Poppy’s paths will cross in this upcoming season, my heart skips a beat with excitement. I can almost hear the distant tolling of the Elven horns signaling the beginning of another epic adventure.


The initial run of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” released in September 2022 and available on Prime Video, has enthralled millions across the globe, cementing its place among the service’s most popular original series ever made. With season 2 of this highly acclaimed show set to debut tomorrow, excitement is reaching unprecedented levels. Given the occasion, we deemed it fitting to delve into the possibilities of the thrilling journeys that lie ahead for fans beyond the next bend.

TopMob recently held an interview with Markella Kavenagh (Nori) and Megan Richards (Poppy), stars of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. During the discussion about their roles in the new season set to premiere on August 29, Kavenagh hinted that Nori’s and Poppy’s storylines will overlap in season 2.

To Nori’s astonishment, it turned out that Poppy had ventured over to join both Nori and the stranger, intending to assist them and embark on their shared journey.

Kavenagh mentioned that while Nori and Poppy’s adventure promises excitement, they will also face numerous perils and trouble, just as characters in The Lord of the Rings often do. She explained that the community they encounter along their journey significantly impacts their overall experience. In summary, she stated that their journey is heavily influenced by the communities they meet.

Megan Richards believes her character will experience considerable personal development, some of which we saw in season one. As an actress, she finds it rewarding to delve into this ongoing growth trajectory. Similar to Kavenagh’s sentiments, Richards also hinted at significant maturing experiences for their characters as the story progresses.

In a recent chat, TopMob spoke with J.D. Payne, the mastermind behind The Rings of Power, who heightened viewers’ excitement by characterizing season 2 as expansive, profound, and grandiose. To fully grasp how these three terms summarize the upcoming season’s content, fans must first watch the initial three episodes airing on August 29. Subsequent episodes will be unveiled weekly on Amazon Prime Video, with each Thursday marking a new installment until the season finale on October 3.

As an ardent devotee, I can’t contain my excitement when I read: “I, Sauron, have returned! Banished by Galadriel, I now rely solely on my own wit to regenerate my power and forge the mythical Rings of Power. These rings, once crafted, will pose a grave threat, potentially enslaving all the peoples of Middle-earth to my malevolent control.” The summary also hints that Season 2 will immerse its characters in an escalating tide of darkness, forcing each one to determine their role in a world teetering on the edge of catastrophe.

Middle-earth calls your name, readers. Get ready!
