Tom Bombadil will appear in season 2 of Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power

In a letter to his publisher in 1937, contemplating a possible sequel to The Hobbit, Tolkien described Bombadil as “the spirit of the (disappearing) countryside of Oxford and Berkshire”.

Tolkien himself had no clear idea of the character’s purpose and noted that he left Bombadil in the story, even though he had no clear storyline. Therefore, the writers of the series have their hands untied in terms of integrating him into the story.

The new season of “Rings of Power” will start on August 29. Earlier, its first teaser was released.
