The first two seasons of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power have established the major characters of Middle-earth’s Second Age, including Galadriel, Elrond, Gil-galad, Celebrimbor, and Sauron, along with figures like the Durins, Míriel, Pharazôn, and Isildur. As the show moves towards the war between the Elves and Sauron, we can expect to see even more characters from Tolkien’s original stories appear. Even characters like Gandalf, who aren’t meant to be present in the Second Age, will likely make an appearance in the series.
