Amazon’s The Lord of the Ring series has received a premiere date and the first image has been released.
The highly-anticipated fantasy series will premiere on Amazon on September 2, 2022, with new episodes released weekly.
Not much is known about the series and it hasn’t received an official title. What we do know is it will take place during the so-called Second Age, thousands of years prior to the event of The Lord of the Rings books and The Hobbit. The series will follow a new and familiar cast as they confront the re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.
The cast includes Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Maxim Baldry, Nazanin Boniadi, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Charles Edwards, Trystan Gravelle, Sir Lenny Henry, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Lloyd Owen, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers, Leon Wadham, Benjamin Walker, Daniel Weyman, and Sara Zwangobani.
“As Bilbo says, ‘Now I think I am quite ready to go on another journey’. Living and breathing Middle-earth these many months has been the adventure of a lifetime. We cannot wait for fans to have the chance to do so as well,” showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay said in a statement as reported by Variety.
