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.

Per the series description, the show will focus on “the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history.” The events of the show will take place thousands of years before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. “Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth … these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.”

The show’s cast includes Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Nazanin Boniadi, Tom Budge, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers, Daniel Weyman, and 20 other actors.

The Lord of the Rings series is written and executive produced by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay. J.A. Bayona will be directing multiple episodes and produce alongside his creative partner Belén Atienza. The show’s creative team includes executive producers Lindsey Weber, Bruce Richmond, Callum Greene, Amazon’s former head of genre programming Sharon Tal Yguado, Gennifer Hutchison, Jason Cahill, Justin Doble, co-producer and VFX producer Ron Ames, writer and co-producer Helen Shang, and producer Chris Newman.

The first season is currently filming and the show has already been renewed for Season 2.

The prequel series has been given the go-ahead for season two. The series is set to film in New Zealand. 

Little is known of the plot. According to Variety, the series will explore new storylines preceding JRR Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring. Per the series’ official Twitter, “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”

During an appearance at the Graham Norton Show, McKellen was asked to share his thoughts on the chance for someone else to play Gandalf on the TV show. “What do you mean, another Gandalf?” said the actor, before adding. “I haven’t said yes because I haven’t been asked. But are you suggesting that someone else is going to play it? Gandalf is over 7000 years old, so I’m not too old.”

Although seeing Ian McKellen in the role of Gandalf would be awesome, there isn’t a big chance for that to happen since Amazon will most likely look for a younger cast which doesn’t have ties with previous movies.

Andy Serkis, on the other hand, wouldn’t be so quick to jump on the opportunity. The actor, who portrayed Gollum in the movies, said he thinks a fresh take on the universe is a better thing.

“I don’t know if I’d want to go back into the Lord of the Rings realm,” he said. “I feel like I’ve spent a large chunk of my life doing that. I’ll say good luck and I think fresh eyes are probably a good thing.”

Although there are many unknowns about the Lord of the Rings TV show, we do know that it will be a prequel to The Fellowship of the Ring, with a multi-season order and a potential spin-off series. This will be Amazon’s attempt to parry HBO’s Game of Thrones and create an internationally recognizable series.
