The second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power wants to surprise Middle-earth fans with the arrival of creatures and characters of all kinds. After confirming the addition of Tom Bombadil several weeks ago, we now know that we will see some very disturbing creatures.
It was through Empire magazine where Amazon Prime Video has released the first look at the Gravestonessupernatural beings that come from the beyond and that until now had only been seen in a Russian adaptation of The Lord of the ringsreleased in 1991.
For those who don't know them, the Wights are wraiths from Angmar and Rhudaur after the Great Plague. They stalked travelers passing through the Barrow Gullies with the intention of sacrificing them to the Dark Lord through religious chants. As can be seen in the images, it seems that these Wights will pose a threat to Arwen and his companions, who will try to escape from these creatures before being trapped forever in the place.

According to the series' visual effects supervisor, Jason Smith, these specters have caused one of the episodes of the next season to become a small horror movie set in Middle Earth. Therefore, we expect some pretty tense moments in this episode. The second season of The Rings of Power will arrive on Amazon Prime Video on August 29, 2024.
