The highly anticipated finale of Prime Video’s The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 is now streaming, and has caused a stir globally! Fans are buzzing with excitement as the climax takes them on a whirlwind of twists and mind-blowing reveals, but nothing prepared them for the jaw-dropping moment everyone had been waiting for – the true identity of the gray haired stranger played by Daniel Weyman. Social media was rife with numerous speculations and theories about who it could be, but they were floored when they learned the true identity! Just a line from the wizard blew viewers’ minds, “Gandalf. That’s what they’re going to call me, isn’t it?” It sent the Tolkien fans into an absolute frenzy, sealing this finale as an unforgettable moment in television history. But did you know that Weyman himself was kept in the dark about his character’s real identity until the very scene was shot?
Recalling the ‘pretty special moment’, Daniel Weyman shared, “This was the first time I’d heard anything about it. I didn’t feel too bothered about the buzz around his name because I was just playing these really precise scenes.” He added, “Literally right before filming that scene was the first time I learned that I was going to utter those words. It was a pretty special moment. To suddenly be given this information was a real pinch-me moment as a 47-year-old thinking back to my childhood dreams of being a wizard.”
Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios announced that over 150 million viewers have watched The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power season one globally. Season two has already generated over 55 million viewers before the finale premiered on the service, expecting the same level of growth and momentum for this season.
