“I would say there’s one more episode in the season. Yeah, it feels very climactic. But there’s at least one strand, if not a couple more that are still lingering. And we’ll have to watch the next one to find out,” teased McKay about Sauron’s much-anticipated revelation in the series.

While viewers are excited to finally meet the evil, a number of fan theories have been floating around assuming who Sauron is, one of them being Halbrand. Commenting if Halbrand has any connection to Sauron, McKay said, “What I would say is, you know, Sauron’s a deceiver. Sauron could be anyone and we always felt like it would be a waste to just have him be out in front at the beginning and that if there was a story that would engage people and let them lean in and let them read into things and have ideas and theories, that would be delightful and wonderful. And if you think it’s [Halbrand], it’s one version of the show. If you think it’s somebody else, it’s another version of the show, and I just hope the next episode is exciting for you.”

Well, the mystery will unfold in a few days, when Prime Video finally drops the epic season 1 finale episode, this Friday, October 14, 2022. Seven episodes of the Amazon Original series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power are exclusively streaming on Prime Video in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and other international languages.

Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is available to stream now in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. The Amazon Original series will conclude with an epic finale on October 14.

The series is led by showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay. They are joined by executive producers Lindsey Weber, Callum Greene, J.A. Bayona, Belén Atienza, Justin Doble, Jason Cahill, Gennifer Hutchison, Bruce Richmond, and Sharon Tal Yguado, and producers Ron Ames and Christopher Newman.
