A major role has been recast for Rings of Power season 2 - find out more
December 01, 2022 - 19:22 GMT Emmy Griffiths Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power have announced that several new cast members will be joining season two, and revealed that a major role has been recast for the second instalment of the hit Amazon Prime Video show. The Orc leader Adar has been recast from season one, and will now be played by Slow Horses star Sam Hazeldine.
Other new cast members include Hanna star Gabriel Akuwudike, The Witcher’s Yasen ‘Zates’ Atour, The Crown star Ben Daniels, and Persuasion actor Nia Towle alongside newcomer Amelia Kenworthy and Poirot actor Nicholas Woodeson. Chatting about season two, Charlie Vickers told NME:"All I can say is we’re getting into the meat of it now. The world has been established in season one and now we can get into the lore.
"I’m talking about the stuff at the heart of The Rings Of Power: the Akalabeth [the downfall of the kingdom of Numenor]. Sauron is out there now and there are no longer any questions or theories about who he is – which is a shame for some I guess. We’re gonna be with him while he’s doing shit, while he’s out there manipulating people and taking on the elves." The show has recently come under fire from the original Lord of the Rings trilogy actor Bernard Hill, who played King Theoden.
