Here is a direct link to the first two episodes

The new Lord of the Rings series, loosely adapted from JRR Tolkien’s literary work (so it is not a 1:1 adaptation of a book by Tolkien), appears exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Start is today, September 2, 2022. The first two episodes of the first season – “Shadows of the Past” and “Flotsam” –

are already available here.

Here is the short description of the first two episodes from Amazon:

Episode 1: Shadows of the Past

Galadriel (played by Morfydd Clark in the series and not by Cate Blanchett as in The Lord of the Rings trilogy) is concerned at signs of the return of an ancient evil; Arondir makes a disturbing discovery; Elrond is faced with an intriguing new venture; Nori breaks one of the most important laws of the Harfeet.

Episode 2: Flotsam

Galadriel finds a new ally; Elrond is not welcome with an old friend; Nori tries to help a stranger; Arondir seeks answers while Bronwyn warns her people of a threat.

Overview of the series

The Amazon Original series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” is scheduled for five seasons and takes place long before the events we know from the Tolkien books “The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings”. Because while the two books mentioned and their film adaptations play in the so-called “Third Age”, the Amazon series shows events from the “Second Age”. Sauron, the main villain from “Lord of the Rings” has his rise in the “Second Age” and forges just this one ring, which is what “The Lord of the Rings” is about. The five seasons will cost Amazon $1 billion to produce.

Here’s how to watch the first two episodes for free

The first two episodes will be available to stream September 2 exclusively on Prime Video worldwide in over 240 countries and territories. New episodes will be added weekly. An Amazon Prime account is required.
