The Rings Of Power Season 2 Showrunners Reveal its Jaw-Dropping Opening Sequence

The Rings of Power Season 2 opener will surprise Lord of the Rings fans, according to the showrunners. Comicbook.com, one of the first to report, quoted the show runner saying the following:

"We open in the darkness, an orc walks in, and we see there are thousands of orcs gathered," showrunner Patrick Mckay revealed to Total Film. "He's about to be crowned, pitching his vision of Middle-earth, and right before they lay the crown on his head, his right-hand man, Adar, turns it upside down, and stabs him in the back. It's the assassination of Sauron."

The Rings of Power is again expanding J.R.R. Tolkien's lore by detailing Sauron's conflict with Adar (Sam Hazeldine will perform in Season 2 in place of Joseph Mawle). Adar is the "father" of the Uruk (orcs), and Hazeldine has teased that Season 2 will focus on orc lives:

"At the beginning of the season, Adar is kind of in an existential crisis because he doesn't really know what to do next," Hazeldine previously told EW. "Sure, they're going to have to deal with various attacks, but he's finished what he set out to do. He took on the responsibility of caring for these children of his and finding them a home, and now he's done that. This sets up his call to adventure in season 2." 

The actor added that Adar is "doing what he feels he has to do to save them from the genocide, whether that would be from Sauron, who sees them as cannon fodder, or from the elves."
