10 TV Characters Finally Returning In 2022
6. Galadriel - The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power
Amazon’s Tolkein series The Rings of Power comes to our streaming services this year, and the company has unsurprisingly been seriously tight lipped about its content. We know a scant few things: it was incredibly expensive to make, and it doesn’t feature most of the characters from previous adaptations.
Among the returnees from Peter Jackson’s version (among others) are the intense Elrond and (perhaps more interestingly) the ethereal elf warrior Galadriel. While she appears only fleetingly in the previous TV adaptations of Tolkein’s trilogy, she’s a huge presence in the film series, portrayed masterfully by Cate Blanchett.
Here, Welsh actress Morfydd Clark will be picking up the mantle. Clark is probably best known for her turn in the spectacular British horror Saint Maud, and has huge shoes to fill in her highest profile role to date.
Clark plays Galadriel as a younger figure, and from press releases seems to take a Cassandra-esque presence here, being the sole voice warning that an evil presence is rising in Middle Earth. The series in and of itself is a huge undertaking, but this could be one of its most iconic parts.
