It will still be a long wait for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 but the cast is already hyping up the second season. For instance, Peter Mullan says that King Durin III will be going through a lot of changes that will affect his relationship with his son.
In the first season of The Rings of Power, the relationship between the king and Prince Durin IV was already strained. However, Peter Mullan confirmed that it will be even harder for King Durin III to connect with his own son in the second season as everything “gets very problematic.”
“My guy goes through some things that change him. So his son is reacting to a very different father; he’s not the father that you see. He’s someone else,” Mullan said during the show's For Your Consideration (via Deadline).
Although things will not go too well for King Durin III, his son will find comfort in an important friendship. Owain Arthur, who plays Prince Durin IV, pointed out that his character's relationship with Elrond will be a huge help.
“What I like about Elrond is that he’s quite similar to Durin in that they’re different from where they come from. Elrond is half human and Durin thinks outside of the box,” Arthur said.
“Going against his father’s word in the first season was massive for Durin, he did that for Elrond, for the greater good and for the elves. That bond and that looking outside of the box and looking away from their own culture is what holds them together,” he added.
“I feel like they’ve got a plan to make the world a better place,” Arthur concluded.
It's an interesting tease considering that fans already know what could go wrong for the dwarves. The first season already confirmed that a Balrog lives under the Mines of Moria and that is set to cause major trouble for everyone.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 has not yet been given an official release date.
