The last time we checked in with how things were going with Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, showrunners Patrick McKay & JD Payne had signed a new, three-year overall deal with Amazon MGM Studios and had begun laying out the story outline for a third season (which hasn't received an official green light yet). But it looks like we're going to have an even bigger update to pass along on Tuesday, with Prime Video announcing that the world premiere of the Season 2 teaser trailer is set for tomorrow – timed perfectly with the streamer's presentation for this week's Upfronts for the press and advertising folks.
