Productions such as Daredevil: Born Again and Deadpool 3 have been closed due to writers’ and actors’ strikes. Some managed to bring the titles to the finish before work breaks. For example, Prime Video was able to film the entire second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power , before SAG-AFTRA ordered its members to go on strike this week.
The exact details of The Lord of the Rings Season 2 : The Rings of Power have not yet been revealed. The story is expected to tie in heavily with the introduction of Sauron, who was formally introduced in the closing moments of Season 1.
I think part of the beauty of a character like Sauron and this situation is that you actually read it. I wish fans could bring their own interpretation to it. Of course, I think the actor has his own. We all have our own feelings. Is it authentic or not. And I think the beauty of it is that it can really go both ways.
said Gennifer Hutchison , showrunner of The Lord of the Rings
