The eagerly awaited finale of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 is now available for streaming, generating excitement worldwide! Fans are thrilled by the climax, filled with unexpected twists and stunning reveals, but nothing prepared them for the shocking moment they had all been anticipating—the true identity of the gray-haired stranger portrayed by Daniel Weyman. Speculation and theories circulated widely on social media, but viewers were astounded when the truth was finally revealed. A simple line from the character, “Gandalf. That’s what they’re going to call me, isn’t it?” sent Tolkien enthusiasts into a frenzy, marking this finale as a memorable moment in television history. Interestingly, Weyman himself was kept in the dark about his character’s identity until just before filming the pivotal scene.
Reflecting on this “pretty special moment,” Weyman shared, “This was the first time I’d heard anything about it. I wasn’t too concerned about the buzz surrounding his name because I was focused on performing these precise scenes.” He continued, “Literally right before we shot that scene was the first time I learned I would be saying those words. It was a pretty special moment. Suddenly getting this information felt like a pinch-me experience, especially as a 47-year-old recalling my childhood dreams of being a wizard.”
The head of the studio reported that over 150 million viewers tuned in to watch Season 1 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power globally. Season 2 has already attracted more than 55 million viewers before the finale aired, with expectations of similar growth and momentum for this season. The second season features an exceptional cast, including Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Cordova, and Charlie Vickers, among others. Created by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, all eight episodes of the latest season are now streaming in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, exclusively on the platform.
