The preview features Lord of the Rings stars Elijah Wood (Frodo), Sean Astin (Sam), Orlando Bloom (Legolas, Ian McKellen (Gandalf), Dominic Monaghan (Merry) and Billy Boyd (Pippin), who reunite virtually via Zoom.

"See you this Sunday at 9 AM PT / 12 PM EST for a very special #LordOfTheRings Episode of #ReunitedApart that is going to break your frown and spin it upside down," Gad wrote on Instagram.

The trailer ends with Wood quoting from the first Lord of the Rings movie, The Fellowship of the Ring.

"I wish this choice had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened," he says.

McKellen then dials in to the call and responds with Gandalf's line.

"So do all who live to see such times; but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us," he says.
