EXCLUSIVE: The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power Stars Markella Kavenagh And Megan Richards Talks Filming S2; Says 'It Was More Fun' Than Challenging

As a lifelong fan of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth saga and a seasoned viewer of fantasy television shows, I am beyond excited for the upcoming second season of The Lord Of The Rings: Rings Of Power. After the captivating debut season, the anticipation has reached an all-time high, and the recent interviews with the cast and showrunner have only fueled my enthusiasm.


As a dedicated follower, I can’t help but express my excitement for the arrival of The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power Season 2. Given the triumphant reception of Season 1, it’s only natural that anticipation is high. Interestingly, the cast themselves have shared insights into the tough filming aspects they encountered during the production of the upcoming season.

In an exclusive chat with TopMob, actors Markella Kavenagh, Megan Richards, and showrunner J.D Payne discussed the upcoming season of their series. When asked about difficulties they encountered during filming, Megan responded, “I wouldn’t necessarily label it as a challenge.”

Markella mentioned, “Additionally, we received tremendous help from everyone. If we encountered anything challenging or needed clarification on any aspect of our work, we were able to ask the showrunners, directors, and fellow team members questions.”

She went on to express that she found it more enjoyable than anything else, adding that through adversity, there’s always something valuable to discover.

The forthcoming season is set to debut on August 29th. This eagerly anticipated episode promises a wealth of surprises along with unexpected plot developments. The cast for the second series includes Morfydd Clark portraying Galadriel, Owain Arthur as Prince Durin IV, Robert Aramayo as Elrond, Ismael Cruz Córdova as Arondir, Benjamin Walker as High King Gil-Galad, Ema Horvath as Eärien, Markella Kavenagh as Nori Brandyfoor, Peter Mullan as Durin III, Meghan Richards as Poppy Proudfellow, Maxim Baldry as Isildur and Sophia Nomvete as Princess Disa.

In addition to the original characters, fresh faces such as Ciarán Hinds playing a new Dark Wizard role and Sam Hazeldine depicting Adar, an Orc leader, have been added to the cast for the upcoming season. Many other new talents will also make their appearance on screen.

The show draws inspiration from John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s book, The Silmarillion, and takes place during a tranquil period in Middle Earth’s Second Age, which occurred thousands of years prior to the events in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien. The goal is to translate this captivating era of Tolkien’s work into television programming.

The show will be released in parts. The first three episodes will be released this week on August 29 and the next three in September. October will see the finale of the season 2. The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power can be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.
