Adar’s forces are on the attack when you watch The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power episode 6 online. Yes, folks, Prime Video’s fantasy series looks to be reaching a climax, as it airs its anti-penultimate episode of its first season.
Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power episode 6 start time, schedule
The Rings of Power episode 6 goes live on Friday (Sept. 30) at 12 a.m. ET / 5 a.m. BST (technically Thursday at 9 p.m. PT) on Amazon Prime Video (opens in new tab).
Full schedule below.
So, while The Stranger remembers his fall to Middle-earth, let’s go over what we should expect going forward. For starters, Durin IV and Elrond seem to have finally come to an understanding, as the latter finally realized why he was sent into the Dwarven mines. Mithril, the ore that may be the one true path to salvation in the fight against the returning Sauron, is in that mine. Durin, ever understanding because he can see the truth in Elrond’s confession, says he’s in. He’s going to even get dear ol’ dad Durin III to mine the material.
Meanwhile, Bronwyn did her best to convince her people that they should unite against Adar. Not all of them took those words to heart, as Waldreg declared his loyalty to Adar, and asked if he’s actually Sauron. Adar’s angry and violent reaction scratches his name off our list.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power trailers
The latest Rings of Power trailer showed how Galadriel’s work is rooted in avenging her brother’s death in battle. She also seems to be a uniter of wayward warriors.
The latest The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power teaser trailer has given us a serious look at the settings of the series, from the elven city of Lindon to the island of Númenor, as well as what appears to be the Shire before it was established.
We also get a feel for how the series will address the rise of Sauron as a time when it appears there’s relative peace and prosperity. Check the latest trailer out below.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power title revealed
The title of the series was revealed in the below video, which features a murky set of visuals with molten lava appear as J.R.R. Tolkien’s familiar words are said aloud:
“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie,
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power budget
All of Smaug’s gold could maybe finance the Lord of The Rings TV show. The Hollywood Reporter (opens in new tab) produced a new report revealing that the first season of the series will cost Amazon $465 million U.S.D. to produce. That’s on top of the $250 million they paid to get the rights to the series.
Of course, Amazon’s spending on filming in New Zealand will get them a tax rebate reward of $114 million U.S.D..
Lord of the Rings TV show cast and crew
Little by little, we learn more about who’s going to appear in the Lord of the Rings series. Joseph Mawle — likely most well known for playing Benjen Stark on HBO’s Game of Thrones — will be in the show in a main villain role, Variety (opens in new tab) confirmed in October 2019. The rest of the cast is a dense list of actors, with nothing revealed in terms of roles.
On July 1, 2021, The Hollywood Reporter (opens in new tab) broke the news that Amelie Child-Villiers (Censor), (Charles Edwards (The Crown), Will Fletcher and Beau Cassidy were added to the series. Their roles were not disclosed.
At TCA20, the following actors were announced as being cast (opens in new tab): Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Nazanin Boniadi, Tom Budge (rumored to have left the show), Morfydd Clark, Ema Horvath, Ismael Cordova, Markella Kavenagh. Amazon (opens in new tab) added the following names: Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers and Daniel Weyman.
Variety claims that Morfydd Clark will be a younger version of Galadriel (best known from Cate Blanchett’s performance in the Peter Jackson films).
In December 2020, Amazon (opens in new tab) announced more casting: Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Maxim Baldry, Ian Blackburn, Kip Chapman, Anthony Crum, Maxine Cunliffe, Trystan Gravelle, Sir Lenny Henry, Thusitha Jayasundera, Fabian McCallum, Simon Merrells,
Geoff Morrell, Peter Mullan, Lloyd Owen, Augustus Prew, Peter Tait, Alex Tarrant, Leon Wadham, Benjamin Walker and Sara Zwangobani.
Previously announced cast members include Will Poulter and Markella Kavenagh, who are expected to be main characters. Maxim Baldry was also listed.
In addition to showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom director J.A. Bayona is set to produce the first two episodes of the series, too, Rotten Tomatoes (opens in new tab) reported.
Producing partner Belén Atienza will join Bayona, and other creatives behind the camera include executive producers Lindsey Weber (10 Cloverfield Lane), Bruce Richmond (Game of Thrones), Gene Kelly (Boardwalk Empire) and Sharon Tal Yguado. Writers such as Gennifer Hutchison (Breaking Bad) and Jason Cahill (The Sopranos) are also on board, along with countless other team members.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power synopsis and plot
The series will still take place in Middle-earth, but the television adaptation will actually be a prequel occurring before the events of the films. Tolkien estate and HarperCollins representative Matt Galsor said the show will “bring to the screen previously unexplored stories based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s original writings,” Ars Technica (opens in new tab) reported.
Here is the official synopsis released by Amazon (opens in new tab):
“Amazon Studios’ forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.”
A spy report from TheOneRing.net (opens in new tab) pulled out a lot of details about what’s to come, including that “elements & passages from ‘The Silmarillion’ and ‘Unfinished Tales’ are licensed by Amazon Studios for this adaptation. Also, unlike Game of Thrones, the report notes that the LoTR series will feature nudity that “is sparse and not sexualized.”
So, expect a lot of world building as we get a big view of The Second Age of Tolkien’s Middle Earth.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power show location and production
Production is currently under way, which Amazon confirmed with a tweet (opens in new tab) containing the following photo:
Amazon Studios confirmed filming for the Lord of the Rings series at three locations near Auckland — in New Zealand, where the feature films were shot as well.
“As we searched for the location in which we could bring to life the primordial beauty of the Second Age of Middle-earth, we knew we needed to find somewhere majestic, with pristine coasts, forests, and mountains, that also is a home to world-class sets, studios, and highly skilled and experienced craftspeople and other staff,” showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay said in a statement (opens in new tab) on September 17, 2019.
“We’re happy that we are now able to officially confirm New Zealand as our home for our series based on stories from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.”
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’s Sauron
We don’t have casting news or any detail behind if or how Sauron will factor into the Amazon Lord of the Rings show, but we do have reason to believe the biggest bad in Middle Earth will be there. Just not at the start. TheOneRing (opens in new tab) reports “Sauron/Annatar will not be revealed in Season One.”
That’s because the above synopsis notes “the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.” And those words scream the name of the eye that rules over all: Sauron. Or as many know his previous form: Annatar, the Lord of Gifts.
