What is “The Rings of Power” about?

Set in the Second Age of Middle Earth, The Rings of Power tells the story of the creation of the titular Rings of Power and how Sauron came to create the One Ring. Here is the logline for Season 2:

“In Season 2 of The Rings of Power, Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, with no army or allies, the aspiring Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power that will allow him to bend all the peoples of Middle-earth to his dark will. Building on the epic scope and ambition of the first season, the new season plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world increasingly on the brink of disaster. Elves and Dwarves, Orcs and Men, Wizards and Harfoots… as friendships are tested and kingdoms begin to crumble, the forces of goodwill fight ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters most to them… each other.”
