    Tom Bombadil to Appear in “Rings of Power” Season 2

    Mary Anne ButlerBy 1 Min Read

    While maybe not as familiar a middle-Earth character as say, Frodo or Legolas, Tom Bombadil is an interesting one. We first meet him in “The Lord of the Rings” novel, when he helps the Hobbits. Rory Kinnear (“Penny Dreadful,” “No Time to Die“) will bring Old Tom to life in season two of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.”

    Prime Video released four first-look photos via Vanity Fair featuring Kinnear as Bombadil, along with Daniel Weyman as The Stranger.

    Season 1 of the show proved divisive among fans. Some felt it deviated too much from the existing source material of JRR Tolkien‘s world, while others wanted a show more in line with Sir Peter Jackson‘s pair of film trilogies.

    Possibly the most expensive television series ever made, “The Rings of Power” has been planned for at least 5 seasons. Season 2 is set to hit Prime Video August 29th, 2024. Check out the tease video below:

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
