It is still unclear who Nia Towle will be playing in the second season of The Rings of Power. However, fans are already speculating that she could be a potential love interest for Isildur and that her character might be his future wife.

It's great to know that Isildur will be back in The Rings of Power Season 2 considering that the character plays an important role in J.R.R. Tolkien's works. After all, he is the future King of Gondor and he has the most important role in the War of the Last Alliance. With that in mind, we can't wait to find out how Isildur survived the events in the previous season finale.

In the penultimate episode of the first season, Isildur and the Numenorean soldiers had to deal with the aftermath of Orodruin's eruption. As they try to evacuate survivors from a collapsing building, he appears to be caught under the ruin and is presumed dead.

Although Elendil mourns for his son, he realizes that Isildur's horse could not be calmed without its rider and allows the horse to run off. Fans believe that Berek can sense that Isildur needs his help and will be able to find his rider in The Rings of Power Season 2.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 has not yet been given an official release date but is expected to premiere on Amazon Prime sometime in 2024. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
