Amazon Studios has officially unveiled the title for its upcoming The Lord of the Rings TV series, and given its ties to Sauron, that sounds really sinister.
Revealed in a post on Amazon Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings Twitter account, the studio's live-action prequel series will now be known as The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
A one-minute sneak peek accompanied the title reveal, with a voice-over narrating one of the most famous passages from JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy:
