Who Is Really Sauron in 'Rings of Power'? [SPOILER] Speaks Out After That Big Reveal!

Sauron is an evil character featured in The Lord of the Rings books and his identity has finally been revealed in the prequel series The Rings of Power.

The season one finale of the Prime Video series just debuted and fans were treated to the big reveal.

Throughout the season, viewers have been trying to figure out which character would end up being Sauron and they got their answer during the finale. The character will play a big role in the second season!

“Sauron can now just be Sauron,” co-showunner Patrick McKay told THR. “Like Tony Soprano or Walter White. He’s evil, but complexly evil. We felt like if we did that in season one, he’d overshadow everything else. So the first season is like Batman Begins, and the The Dark Knight is the next movie, with Sauron maneuvering out in the open. We’re really excited. Season two has a canonical story. There may well be viewers who are like, ‘This is the story we were hoping to get in season one!’ In season two, we’re giving it to them.”

'Rings of Power' Showrunner Responds To Criticisms Over The Pace of Season One

The ladies of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power looked amazing at the show’s panel during the 2022 PaleyFest NY held at Paley Museum on Saturday (October 8) in New York City.

Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Nazanin Boniadi, and Sara Zwangobani joined their co-stars Benjamin Walker, Daniel Weyman, Charles Edwards, and Leon Wadman at the event, just a few days after attending the show’s panel during NYCC.

During the weekend of events, showrunner J.D. Payne addressed criticisms that the show’s pacing was too slow.

He told The Hollywood Reporter that the pacing throughout the first season is about just right: “I hope that people can key in for the journey.”

“A lot of blockbusters have a breakneck pace where you’re wheeled from one set piece to the next until it all collapses under its own weight,” he continued. “Tolkien will take his time and let you sink into characters, to a journey, and journeys can be hard in Tolkien. I hope people will have the patience to settle in for a Tolkien epic.”
