Charlie Vickers as Sauron from The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
The Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power season 2 made multiple mentions of a specific point in Sauron's story, indicating that some never-before-seen moments will eventually be brought to the screen. This has been a significant draw for the Prime Video series since it is set during the Second Age of Middle-earth, a period typical Lord of the Rings adaptations don't cover. In fact, Sauron's entire character is far more conceptual than physical throughout Frodo's story.
The first two seasons of Rings of Power have opened up with flashback scenes to the days long before the Second Age. Season 1 included an overview of Morgoth's war with the Elves, while season 2 got started with Sauron's fall after Morgoth's defeat and his slow, slimy climb back to a physical form.
In Tolkien's works, the power of creation is a slippery slope. Those who hold a talent for crafting beautiful things often develop the desire to do more, and Mairon is a prime example. This Maia valued balance, clarity, and perfection, and it was precisely this that made all he created so beautiful. However, when Mairon developed the desire to make Middle-earth and its beings balanced, pure, and perfect.
Prime Video has limited rights to Tolkien's works since the author sold the adaptation rights to only The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Books like The Silmarillion, which outlines details of the First and Second Ages, were published after Tolkien's death, and these rights were never sold by his estate. Therefore, Rings of Power can only include stories and characters mentioned in those previous works. In season 1, this didn't include the Silmarils.
