Orcs on the March

After the destruction of the Southlands in season one, the orcs are growing bolder in their movements across Middle-earth. Although they were ostensibly “defeated” before the whole explosion-of-Mount-Doom thing, the forces of Adar will be under ostensible new management in season two: the character will now be played by Sam Hazeldine, taking over from Game of Thrones’ Joseph Mawle, as he positions himself as a major player in what he’s now named Mordor.
