About The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history.

This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.

Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.

From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

**Please note: This parent’s guide is based on episode 1 of the series. We’ll update as we watch more episodes weekly.**

Language

There really wasn’t anything in the first episode alarming at this time.

At this point, we feel The Rings of Power is safe for kids to watch from a language standpoint.

Age Rating For The Rings of Power: Is It Safe For Kids When It Comes To Sex, Romance, and Nudity?

There is a storyline that looks to be a romance, but the first episode mostly implied it.

There was no touching, kissing, or hugging, just knowing looks and some language indicating love for each other.

There was a scene with a mostly nude male body shown. It appears to have something covering the genitals, but the way the body is shown does not give any clear indication on clothing (or not).

Either way, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is kid-friendly on this level at this point.

Is LOTR: The Rings of Power Ok For Kids: Mature Topics

There is a lot of talk of dying, fighting, evil and darkness that could be too mature for some children.

If your kids are familiar with LOTR, then this will be something they will understand.

But if you are going in cold, we suggest previewing this to make sure the mature topics aren’t too much for a sensitive child.

Characters are seen drinking alcohol.

Violence and Gore: The Rings of Power Too Scary For Kids Under 14?

We didn’t feel this show has been too gory or scary at this time.

There are scenes of great battles, deaths, and some blood, but it’s not the focus of the episode so far.

Kids will see brutal combat scenes with impaling and deaths, as well as some hand-to-hand combat.

A troll or monster creature is stabbed in the face and killed with some gore splashing on the camera lens.

The Rings of Power Age Rating: What Ages Can Really Watch This One?

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is rated TV-14 for flashing lights, frightening scenes, alcohol use, and violence.

Is The Rings of Power Appropriate For Kids Under 14?

We think any tween or teen with a passion for fantasy can watch this show so far. The Rings of Power is most likely appropriate for ages 11 and up who like this genre.

If they’ve seen Stranger Things 4, for example, this is nowhere near as violent, gory, or scary. Reminder: we are basing this off the first episode but feel it likely sets the tone of the series.
