Los Angeles: "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" star Nazanin Boniadi has confirmed that she will not be featuring in the upcoming second season of the show.
Boniadi, 44, portrayed the role of Bronwyn in the first season of the fantasy series, based on the appendices of British author J. R. R. Tolkien’s "The Lord of the Rings".
In an Instagram post on Friday evening, Boniadi said the reason to step away from the show was unrelated to her decision to "prioritize my advocacy".
"I made the choice not to return for season two of ‘Rings of Power.’ This was unrelated to my subsequent decision to prioritize my advocacy. Throughout my career, the values I have held most dear are honesty, empathy and integrity," Boniadi said.
"My character Bronwyn was committed to these same ideals in striving for a fairer world, which is why I connected so deeply with her," she added.
The actor concluded her post, saying that she looks forward to sharing her latest projects with her fans soon.
"The Rings of Power" had launched on Prime Video with its first season in September 2022.
The show, showrun and executive produced by JD Payne and Patrick McKay, will return for the second season on August 29.
