A new teasers trailer for Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has given fans the first glimpse at footage from the $1bn (€880m) Amazon TV series.
The 60-second teaser for what is thought to be the most expensive TV show ever made features a selection of JRR Tolkien's classic mythical characters including elves, dwarves and orcs.
The multi-season series will be set thousands of years before the events of the world-renowned The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings books.
According to Amazon, it will focus on a story that unites the major events of Tolkien's Second Age together - the forging of the famous rings.
"What else is out there?" a voice-over is heard to say during the trailer.
"There's wonders in this world beyond our wandering. I can feel it."
The trailer features cinematic landscapes including snowy mountain faces, raging seas and dark, mysterious forests.
Announcing the new series title earlier this year, Amazon released a video in which molten metals ran like fiery rivers through wooden ravines to craft out silver letters to spell out its name.
The first instalment of the series was filmed in New Zealand and it was announced in August that production would move to the UK for the second season.
The series is led by showrunners and executive producers JD Payne and Patrick McKay and directed by JA Bayona, Charlotte Brandstrom and Wayne Che Yip, who is also a co-executive producer.
The fantasy book series, and its prequel The Hobbit, was created by Tolkien and was later adapted for the big screen, radio and the stage numerous times.
The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on September 2, with new episodes available weekly.
